Abstract :
Air Traffic Control (ATC) and their responsible authorities have been always very sensitive to safety of the systems they are using to guarantee a fool-proof and environmentally safe operation of the facilities to provide guidance for the airplanes. This paper deals with the influence of a pulsed systems on standard air-ground aviation communication systems. A measurement campaign is described. An analysis of the inaccuracies of those measurements is performed and the influence of (shielded and unshielded) spark plug systems on aviation communication systems (still based on A(mplitude)M(odulation)) is explained in detail.
