Whenever one transmitter’s signal overlaps another on a frequency or channel, the signals interfere with each other. Interference can be described by the way the signals overlap. For example, co-channel interference occurs when two or more transmitters use the same channel. In Figure 3-1, Transmitters A and B are both transmitting an RF signal on channel 6 in the 2.4-GHz band.
