Abstract

This paper presents one task that is part of an ongoing effort to understand the path losses between emitting sources in and around commercial aircraft to the ComNav systems. Understanding the path loss is the key item in being able to accurately assess and predict the susceptibility of operational ComNav systems on commercial aircraft from portable electronic device emissions
