This is a narrowband signal, that is, its frequency is restricted to a very narrow range.
Narrowband interference is not the only kind of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) that you will see in your graphs.
To cover a broad range of frequencies with the necessary power would be unneccessarily wasteful of their energy resources.

 Interference: Defining the Source
Interference is any unwanted radio frequency signal that prevents you from watching television, listening to your radio or stereo, or talking on your cordless telephone.
Interference may prevent reception altogether, may cause only a temporary loss of a signal, or may affect the quality of the sound or picture produced by your equipment.
A simple method of determining the location of electrical interference is by using a portable AM radio tuned to a quiet frequency at the lower end of the dial.

 Radio Frequency Interference
Radio frequency (RF) is an electromagnetic wave that oscillates between the audio and infrared in the electromagnetic spectrum.
The interference is broadcast through the air as radio waves or conducted through power lines.
If the radio shows that the RFI increases in your or your client’s business, determine if the interference is constant; it could be the lighting system or other electrical equipment causing the problem.

 Radio Frequency Interference - Definition of Radio Frequency Interference by Webster's Online Dictionary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Radio Frequency Interference - (RFI) Electromagnetic radiation which is emitted by electrical circuits carrying rapidly changing signals, as a by-product of their normal operation, and which causes unwanted signals (interference or noise) to be induced in other circuits.
The efficiency of the radiation is dependant on the height above the ground or power plane (at RF one is as good as the other) and the length of the conductor in relationship to the wavelength of the signal component (fundamental, harmonic or transient (overshoot, undershoot or ringing)).
At lower frequencies, such as 133 MHz, radiation is almost exclusively via I/O cables; RF noise gets onto the power planes and is coupled to the line drivers via the VCC and ground pins.

 Hallman Fence Systems - Fencer school - Radio frequency interference (RFI)
Radio frequency interference (RFI for short) is nearly always caused by the fence rather than the fence controller.
RFI does not mean the faint click usually heard on most barn radios if there is an electric fence close by, but very loud radio or television clicks, often accompanied by disruption of a clear picture.
With the radio turned on but tuned between two AM stations, walk along the fence.

 RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The cosmic radio signals that astronomers try to detect from distant stars and galaxies are typically billions of times weaker than the radio station signals picked up by home radios in the AM and FM bands.
The regulation of radio transmissions in both the public and private sectors is necessary in order to prevent users of the radio spectrum for interfering with each other.
Because of the faintness of the cosmic radio signals and the great sensitivies of radio telescopes, radio astronomers are particularly dependent on federal regulations to preserve some segments of the radio spectrum free from man-made transmissions.

 An explanation of radio frequency interference (rfi) and electromagnetic interference (emi)
Where displays are concerned, interference occurs by the transmission of an interfering signal in the form of an electromagnetic wave and, for the frequencies with which we are usually concerned, is termed radio frequency interference (rfi) or electromagnetic interference (emi).
Upon meeting such a shield, the signal will be partly reflected at the surface due to the resistive part of the impedance mis-match (conductivity of the shield) and that which continues through will be reduced by the reactive part of the shield impedance (the magnetic permeability of the material).
This primarily specifies the acceptable disturbance levels for apparatus used in a domestic environment where the use of TV and radio broadcast receivers may be expected within a distance of 10 metres from the display.

 introduction
Increasing congestion of the radio spectrum is making astrophysical research in the designated radio and microwave bands ever more difficult, and the situation is quite a bit worse outside the bands protected for astronomy.
Every year, an increasing amount of radio frequency spectrum in the VHF, UHF, and microwave bands is being used to support new commercial and military ventures, and all have the potential to interfere with radio astronomy observations.
Adaptive interference cancellation is a real-time approach to interference excision that has not been used before in radio astronomy.

Radio stations, cellular phones, Citizen's Band and police radio, welding equipment, small office or household appliances, fluorescent lights, loose electrical connections, defective AC Power plugs, cords or sockets are among the many sources of electrical interference.
Interference may cause erratic program operation; or it might cause errors in data processing (we've all heard the old anecdote of a $1,000,000 check being issued for a $1 refund).
Since Radio Frequency Interference may emanate from many portions of the offending device, shielding efforts may be required in severe situations.

 Cellular Phone Interference and 800 MHz Public Safety Radio Systems: An Unforeseen and Dangerous Problem
The interference problem stems from the fact that the Federal Communications Commission failed to anticipate in the 1980s the rise of the cellular telephone industry, and assigned the newest public safety frequencies to a band adjacent to the cellular frequencies.
When a public safety radio user is far away from the centrally-located base station, and is near a cellular site, the cellular site may overwhelm the public safety radio.
Nextel, commonly cited as one of the principal agents behind the interference recognizes that there is a problem with cellular and other commercial radio service in the 800 MHz band and is working actively with some communities to resolve the interference issues.
