Co-channel measurements

It should also be noted that co-channel interference measurements should be made using a

properly modulated IEEE 802.15.4-2003 signal, and not with an MSK signal with random

chips. The MSK signal will look like noise to the receiver, whereas a co-channel IEEE

802.15.4-2003 signal may give worse performance as the receiver sees it as a valid signal.
