EMF Study
(Database last updated on Mar 27, 2024)

ID Number 1509
Study Type Engineering & Physics
Model Mobile phone RF and electromagnetic interference with aircraft navigation and communication electronics
Details

NASA Langley study commissioned by the FAA to evaluate possible interference from 3G phones with aircraft Navigation and Communications Systems that concluded "In most cases, the wireless phones [that were tested] were seen to have better safety margins [with respect to DO-160 immunity limits] than laptops and PDAs due to their lower emissions". Additional NASA Langley presentation (Jay Ely) at October 2004 meeting of the RTCA SC202 concluded "FCC rules for UWB and other Part 15 devices below 960 MHz [may exceed current DO -160 immunity limits] that protect aeronautical radio services"
