Abstract

The equivalent isotopically radiated power (EIRP) of a wireless avionics intra-communication (WAIC) system is limited to 6 dBm/MHz at the geometrical center of the aircraft, to avoid interference with aircraft radio altimeters, which are operated at the same frequency band between 4,200– 4,400 MHz. In this paper, the height and angle characteristics of the point source EIRP of a WAIC system are analyzed based on the large scale FDTD analysis. Firstly, the strength of the electric field (E-field) around the three-dimensional model of Airbus A320-200 is analyzed. Then, the point source EIRP is calculated based on the analyzed E-field strength. Finally, the height and angle characteristics are analyzed to estimate the electromagnetic field characteristics of the aircraft.
