Materials and methods for mitigating passive intermodulation. A membrane for reducing passive intermodulation includes a first polymeric layer, a second polymeric layer, and a continuous metal layer encapsulated between the first and second polymeric layers. A self-adhesive radio frequency barrier tape includes a waterproof polymeric top layer, a metal-containing layer adhered by an adhesive layer to the polymeric top layer, a pressure sensitive adhesive layer adhered to the metal-containing layer, and a release liner on a bottom surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer. A method of mitigating passive intermodulation includes passing a probe over an area of interest, the probe being sensitive to an intermodulation frequency of interest, and identifying a suspected source of passive intermodulation when the amplitude of the probe output exceeds a threshold at the frequency of interest. The method further includes covering the suspected passive intermodulation source with a radio frequency barrier material.

An electronic device measures noise variability of background noise present in a sampled audio signal, and determines whether the measured noise variability is higher than a high threshold value or lower than a low threshold value. If the noise variability is determined to be higher than the high threshold value, the device categorizes the background noise as having a high degree of variability. If the noise variability is determined to be lower than the low threshold value, the device categorizes the background noise as having a low degree of variability. The high and low threshold values are between a high boundary point and a low boundary point. The high boundary point is based on an analysis of files including noises that exhibit a high degree of variability, and the low boundary point is based on an analysis of files including noises that exhibit a low degree of variability.

an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) output signal produced by a device in response to an OFDM input signal is accessed. The OFDM input signal includes OFDM input symbols in the time domain and the OFDM output signal includes OFDM output symbols in the time domain. The OFDM output symbols are time-aligned to the OFDM input symbols and a phase of the OFDM output signal is de-rotated with respect to the OFDM input signal. A complex equalization filter is applied to the OFDM output symbols in the time domain to obtain an estimate of the OFDM input symbols A distortion signal of the OFDM output signal is determined by subtracting the estimate of the OFDM input symbols. An error vector magnitude (EVM) is determined by dividing a root mean square of the distortion, by a root mean square of the OFDM input signal.
