Paper Introduction:
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE WITH AIRLINER ON-BOARD COMMUNICATIONS AND NAVIGATION SYSTEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE USE OF PASSENGER-CARRIED PORTABLE ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT
Introduction
Background on the Problem
Persistent reports have linked electromagnetic interference (EMI) with airliner on-board communications and navigation systems with the use on such aircraft of passenger-carried portable electronic equipment (Nordwall, 1993, p. 32). The problem is exacerbated by two developments--portable electronic equipment has proliferated, and the smaller size and low-voltage characteristics of modern aircraft electronics causes them to be increasingly vulnerable to EMI. In response to these events, some a
