An alerting device allowing easy estimation of possible interference and
useful suggestions to eliminate deteriorated communication quality due to
interference is disclosed. A signal including a band used by a target
radio communication system is selected from a received signal based on a
prescribed system specification of the radio communication system. A
detected signal level of the selected signal is detected and compared
with the prescribed interference level. When the detected signal level is
greater than the prescribed interference level, it is determined that
interference occurs. Further, an interference source is estimated by
analyzing the selected signal with respect to time and frequency
components.
