Frage 3
Frage
We have detected the following malfunction:
Each time we are transmitting with the radio in a channel centered in 409 MHz, we find problems with the GPS. We have reduced the output power of the radio, and the problem disappears. We do not have problems between the radio and the GPS in other channels, separated 50 MHz between them. The GPS is using L2 band (1227.60 MHz). The length of the GPS cable is 10 meters and the gain of the preamplifier of the GPS antenna is 20 dB. The cable insertion loss is 0.5 dB per meter.
Which proposals can solve this problem?
Antworten
-
We propose to change the GPS antenna for another with a better filter
-
We propose to reduce the spurious emission of the radio
-
Use suppression on the radio and blanking on the GPS
-
Separate the GPS antenna from the radio antenna

Antworten
-
The active or tuned antennas are the best solution in terms of weight for a V/UHF communication system.
-
The size of an active or tuned antenna is smaller, but we have a strong impact in the performance (gain) of the antenna. This loss of performance can be typically assumed by the aeronautical communication systems.
-
The active or tuned antennas are better for low frequencies both in terms of performance (gain) and size, although the weight is slightly penalized.

Frage 11
Frage
We need to test a system which is basically a transmitter and an antenna installed on an aircraft. The maximum TX power is 314W in average and the antenna maximum directivity, installed on the structure, is 12 dB and its efficiency factor 0.25. We need to use, for our test, some equipments which we know that above 4 W/m2 power density in the frequency band used by our system (3GHz), present malfunctions:
Antworten
-
We decide to deploy our equipments 20 meters away from the antenna, in order to avoid problems and keep 6 dB of security margin.
-
We estimate that 20 meters from the antenna the power density would be around 4W/m2.
-
We estimate that 10 meters from the antenna the power density would be around 8W/m2.
