Why does the interference analysis sometimes take a long time to complete?
Occasionally users do not know the actual operating frequencies at a communications site so they will select an entire frequency band. This could amount to 500 or more frequency pairs requiring analysis. With this large number of frequencies, the number of evaluations can be in the trillions plus and the analysis time is increased dramatically. Here is an example benchmark test: 342 transmit frequencies in the file. 492 receive frequencies in the file. 3-tranmitter IM mixing. 1st through 5th Order. The report was configured for: Excluded Antenna Patterns (Worst case). Condensed IM reporting (1000 Hits/Order). Microsoft Word Reporting. The analysis took 33.2 minutes to complete. It was run on a P4, 1.9 GHz computer with Windows XP and Word 2002. There were 1,000 3rd Order Intermodulation (IM) products and 1,000 5th Order IM products. To improve processing performance, We suggest you try the following to speed up the analysis: Set up the report with Exclude Antenna Patterns. This provide
