Modeling and Mitigation of Radio Frequency Interference for Wireless Devices

Abstract

This article reviews the electromagnetic framework used to model radio frequency interference (RFI) and the resulting development of mitigation methods. With the rise of IoT devices, wireless devices in which RF antennas are integrated with high-performance digital systems in small form factors suffer from electromagnetic interference, known as RF interference or RF desensitization. The simple yet rigorous framework can be used for a systematic RFI-aware design, saving time and effort for trial-and-error troubleshooting.
