Abstract

Spectrum sensing is the key enabler for dynamic spectrum access in the television (TV) bands as it can allow secondary networks to reuse spectrum without causing harmful interference to primary users. In this paper we describe a sensing prototype that has been developed to demonstrate robust sensing of TV signals as well as wireless microphone signals in the laboratory and field. We will present the algorithms as well as simulation, lab and field test results that validate the prototype’s capability to identify these signals down to a level of -116 dBm.
