Automated narrow peak interference severity estimation

A test system comprising:

• a detector configured to capture a stream of RF samples over-the-air or through connection to a Common Public Radio Interface, CPRI, or enhanced CPRI, eCPRI, link;
• a processor;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
• obtain data from one or more tests of a mobile network having at least one antenna, wherein the data includes a stream of Radio Frequency, RF, samples captured over-the-air or from a Common Public Radio Interface, CPRI, or an enhanced CPRI, eCPRI, link;
• process the data to detect peaks;
• perform an analysis of any detected peaks to identify any issues on the mobile network, said analysis including determining a relative power of said detected peaks with said relative power used to assign a severity estimation;
• and
• cause display of a user interface that includes a reporting of said relative power and the severity estimation with the user interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer readable code stored thereon for programming a test system to perform the steps of:

• obtaining data from one or more tests of a mobile network having at least one antenna, wherein the data includes a stream of Radio Frequency, RF, samples captured over-the-air or from a Common Public Radio Interface, CPRI, or an enhanced CPRI, eCPRI, link;
• processing the data to detect peaks;
• performing an analysis of any detected peaks to identify any issues on the mobile network, said analysis including determining a relative power of said detected peaks with said relative power used to assign a severity estimation;
• and
• causing display of a user interface that includes a reporting of said relative power and the severity estimation with the user interface.
