| Standard | |
ANSI IEEE C63.27-2017
American National Standard for Evaluation of Wireless Coexistence |
|
Scope/Abstract| This standard specifies methods for assessing the radio frequency (RF) wireless coexistence of equipment that incorporates RF communications. This standard specifies key performance indicators (KPIs) that can be used to assess the ability of the equipment under test (EUT) to coexist with other equipment in its intended operational environment |
