FAA mandates 5G-tolerant altimeters, warns of ‘catastrophic incident’
U.S. FAA proposes requiring 5G safeguards on planes by early 2024 (news.yahoo.com) さらに...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I agree with Sweeper239--FOLLOW THE MONEY, DUMMIES!
Why has Congress given the broadband industry everything it wants (e.g., unrestricted 5G)?
BECAUSE the broadband industry, as a whole, has given our greedy FEDERAL politicians HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS over the past 5 or 6 Administrations. Shame on the industry, shame on the greedy politicians, but most of all, SHAME ON YOU AND ME for letting them both get away with it!
Bottom line, the predicted "catastrophic incident" will happen .... and the media will whine and bitch about it for about 2 days, never investing a dime of reporter's time into doing a deep dive into what was the REAL CAUSE of those 300+ fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, kids, etc. lives lost.

It would seem they are putting "cat videos on your cellphone" ahead of aviation safety.
I read somewhere, but can't confirm the validity, that part of the problem is "sloppy" reception in some older radio-driven avionics systems that allow excessive bleed over from nearby frequencies. Older electronics have had that problem for decades. Maybe electronics on aircraft should have tighter precision standards. Especially since "they" keep wanting to have airplanes more and more automated.
I think the issue is not with the main 5G signal but with harmonics interfering with altimeters with poor filtering.

It's pretty much that. The filtering wasn't needed when that spectrum wasn't used in its current application, but it is for sure now. Not even all of the radio altimeters had this problem, just the ones without enough filtering.
That’s the most important thing of all!!
