kruisinterferentie

Kruisinterferentie, also known as cross-interference, is a phenomenon observed in telecommunications and signal processing where an unwanted signal from one communication channel affects another. This typically occurs when two or more signals share a common medium, such as a cable or the airwaves, and their electromagnetic fields interact. The interfering signal can manifest as noise, distortion, or a complete loss of intelligibility in the affected channel.

This type of interference can arise from various sources, including the leakage of signals between adjacent wires in a cable bundle, the radiation of electromagnetic energy from one transmitting antenna that is picked up by another, or even internal crosstalk within electronic components. The severity of kruisinterferentie depends on factors such as the proximity of the signal sources, the strength of the interfering signal, and the design and shielding of the communication system.

Mitigation techniques for kruisinterferentie include using shielded cables, increasing the physical separation between signal paths, employing frequency division multiplexing to assign distinct frequency bands to different channels, or utilizing signal processing techniques to filter out or cancel the unwanted interference. Understanding and addressing kruisinterferentie is crucial for maintaining signal integrity and ensuring reliable communication in a wide range of applications.
