Abstract
A method is provided for monitoring transmission signal interference in a bi-directional transmission/reception system in which a modulated signal received at a receiver location is subjected at the receiver location to analog to digital (A/D) conversion by an A/D converter , an output of which is routed to an input of a digital demodulator for demodulation. The method includes the steps of accessing the output of the A/D converter before the output is subjected to demodulation by the demodulator and storing the accessed data in a storage buffer . The data stored in the storage buffer is available for inspection to assist in determining the presence of signal interference.
