Abstract: A method for detecting interference in a wireless system is disclosed. The method includes receiving an uplink signal at a remote radio head in a distributed base station, passing the uplink signal from the remote radio head to a baseband unit over a front-haul communication link as baseband IQ data, and intercepting the baseband IQ data at a tester coupled between the remote radio head and the baseband unit. Processing of the IQ data is performed to determine whether an interfering signal is present in the uplink signal.

The power spectral density of the received frequency spectrum is estimated. A plurality of frequency bins are segmented for the frequency spectrum based on the estimated power spectral density. For segments with an estimated power spectral density above a first threshold, a radar spectral signature matching algorithm is applied to detect the presence of the signal and for segments with a power estimate below the first threshold and above a second threshold, additional techniques are applied to detect the presence of the signal.
