Title
GSM Handset Noise, Coping with the: “Buzz of Death.”
Speakers
Steve Weir, Technical Staff, Teraspeed Consulting Group
Abstract
GSM telephones are notorious for inducing a disturbing 217Hz buzz in almost any electronics that includes an audio output. The problem is severe enough that many GSM handsets emit audible buzz as victims of their own RF interference. This talk will provide a brief overview of the reasons behind the GSM “Buzz of Death” and trade-offs between available suppression techniques.
