This is not so.  Many aircraft now have personal 12v ports under each 
seat for personal electronic devices.

I thought we were discussing your very restricted 'definition' of
immunity.

However, I don't think we really disagree very much on the actual
issues, just a bit on the terminology.

Re: New EU regulations - civil aviation

2002-09-15 Thread Ken Javor

We are getting off subject, in that the CISPR requirements listed below 
don't apply to avionics, only to the personal electronics people carry on
board.  However, the real issue is not unique to CISPR, or DoD, or
RTCA/DO-160 or the European equivalent.  It has to do with how you control
undesired electromagnetic interactions.  I have a slide which describes this
graphically, which I can send directly to anyone interested, but in keeping
with forum rules, I am not broadcasting an attachment.

What the side does show is that radiated emissions requirements control
interference to antenna-connected radio receivers.  Radiated immunity
requirements impose minimum operational requirements on ordinary (non-radio)
electronics when in close proximity to an intentional rf transmission.

The point is that personal electronics carried on board an aircraft interact
with the aircraft ONLY via the radiated emissions route.  Mr.  Woodgate is
certainly correct that if antenna port immunity requirements are not
adequately administered, then aircraft functions relying on radio reception
are unnecessarily endangered.  I am familiar with US DoD requirements levied
on antenna ports.  Perhaps someone else on the forum can speak to similar
but non-DoD requirements.

The whole object of most CISPR standards is to prevent unintentional
emissions causing RFI. While most of them deal only with the limitation
of emissions, CISPR 14-2, 20 and 24 include immunity requirements. In
the case of CISPR 20, the immunity requirements apply to receivers.

What IS excluded from 'immunity' is on-channel interference with
receivers, since the effects of this depend very greatly on things such
as the type of modulation used for the wanted signals.

It seems there is no English version of JEM-TR 201 at least
at this time.
Catalogue of translated JEM/JEM-TR documents is available at
http://www.jema-net.or.jp/Japanese/jem/jem_eng.htm, but it seems
none of them are available online anyway.
You may want to concact JEMA for more information.

Only for information - Japanese JEM-TR 201 is available online at:
