Interference Detection and Spectrum Monitoring
This dataset provides comprehensive records of spectrum monitoring and interference detection activities, including detailed measurement parameters, location data, interference types, and drive test results. It enables telecom operators and regulators to analyze spectrum occupancy, identify interference sources, and optimize network performance. The dataset is ideal for interference trend analysis, regulatory reporting, and network troubleshooting.

Behind this dataset
Same schema. As many rows as you need.
These 350 rows came out of a blueprint — 18 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.
Rules it was built with
- Measurement location: cell ID or GPS coordinates
- Frequency scanned and bandwidth of measurement
- Interference type: co-channel (same frequency), adjacent channel, PIM
- Interference power level (dBm) and carrier-to-interference ratio (C/I)
- Interference source: identified cell, external source (military, radar, ISM band)
- PIM (Passive Intermodulation) from rusty connectors, loose hardware
- Spectrum occupancy: percentage of time frequency is occupied
- Drive test results: coverage maps, signal strength (RSRP), interference
