Publisher's Synopsis
Path Loss Measurements were obtained on three (3) GPS equipped 757 aircraft. Systems measured were Marker Beacon, LOC, VOR, VHF (3), Glide Slope, ATC (2), DME (2), TCAS, and GPS. This data will provide the basis for assessing the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) safety margins of comm/nav (communication and navigation) systems to portable electronic device emissions. These Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) include all devices operated in or around the aircraft by crews, passengers, servicing personnel, as well as the general public in the airport terminals. EMI assessment capability is an important step in determining if one system-wide PED EMI policy is appropriate. This data may also be used comparatively with theoretical analysis and computer modeling data sponsored by NASA Langley Research Center and others.Horton, Kent and Huffman, Mitch and Eppic, Brian and White, HarrisonLangley Research CenterBOEING 757 AIRCRAFT; AIRCRAFT COMMUNICATION; AIR NAVIGATION; COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT; NAVIGATION INSTRUMENTS; ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE; ELECTROMAGNETIC COUPLING; AIRCRAFT EQUIPMENT; PORTABLE EQUIPMENT...
