As spectrum sharing and multi-technology coexistence accelerate (5G-WiFi, mmWave-terrestrial broadcast, satellite-cellular), RF interference testing has become a gating factor in product release cycles. EE Times examines the hidden costs and test requirements for validating coexistence in contested and crowded spectrum bands.
For hardware and infrastructure teams shipping radios or coordinating multi-band systems, this signals rising complexity in radio test benches and certification timelines. Early investment in RF coexistence simulation and benchtop validation avoids late-stage NRE and regulatory delays.
