Abstract :
The authors describe IR (infrared waves) interference between IR remote-control systems for electric home appliances and high-frequency electronic ballast lighting. The separation of the carrier frequency of an IR remote-control system and the lamp operating frequency of high-frequency lighting is the most efficient way of preventing this interference. The phenomenon, preventive approaches and experimental results of IR interference experiments are also described
