1. A spectrum analysis system comprising:
a radiofrequency (RF) receiver operable to capture RF data including data relating to at least one signal; and
at least one device including a processor and a memory operable to receive and analyze the RF data to identify the at least one signal;
wherein the at least one device is operable to determine signal degradation data for the at least one signal;
wherein the signal degradation data is used to perform pattern distortion, generate propagation models, and generate next neighbor interference models;
wherein the signal degradation data is based on noise figure parameters and hardware parameters of at least one second device emitting the at least one signal;
wherein the noise figure parameters are based on data in a static database associated with the at least one signal; and
wherein the hardware parameters comprise antenna type, orientation, azimuth, gain, and/or effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP).
