Abstract—When using the sharing spectrum with otherscommunication system, the most important thing isconsidering about harmful interference from unlicensed tolicensed systems. With TV-band also, the digital television(DTV) can tolerate the interference from other system withtheir threshold and sharing spectrum regulations canguarantee the interference between communications systemwas characterized in Federal Communications Commission(FCC) 10-174 and Advanced Television Systems Committee(ATSC). This paper provides an interference analysis toverify a probability of interference between TV banddevices and DTV system in adjacent TV channel. Besides,the combination of using Spectrum Engineering AdvancedMonte Carlo Analysis Tool (SEAMCAT) will propose thecriterion to get the level of harmful interference by anotherwireless system with specified transmission and geo-locationarrangement.
