The emissions from most of these products (except laptops) are quite weak. Since these are said to present a significant threat, I wonder that different systems within the aircraft's own electronic installation can practicably be prevented from interacting adversely. >It is not necessary to assume an out-of-band >response, either. Of course not, but resistance to in-band interference can be very high if suitable modulation schemes and signal formats are used. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk After swimming across the Hellespont, I felt like a Hero. ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
