| Abstract | Towards the goal of evaluating compatibility between passenger transmitting portable electronic devices (T-PEDs) and potential interference victims, such as avionics receivers and terrestrial mobile phone networks, we conducted an investigation onboard a Boeing MD-90 aircraft using CDMA handsets. The objectives of these tests were: 1) to determine a multiple equipment factor (MEF) to create a simulated signal source with RF energy equivalent to multiple T-PEDs inside the cabin; 2) to verify the hypothesis that MEF can be determined analytically using an accurate path loss model and the spatial distribution of T-PEDs within the cabin; 3) to evaluate external RF signal leakage from in-cabin mobile networks to assess potential interference to terrestrial mobile phone networks; 4) to evaluate passenger effects on RF propagation within the aircraft cabin. The aircraft cabin was equipped with picocell equipment capable of supporting 100 simultaneous CDMA mobile phone calls. 100 commercial-grade CDMA handsets were distributed evenly throughout the cabin. All handsets were configured for one of two scenarios: 1) manual full-power operation (representing the worst case); or 2) power-controlled communication with the picocell, where the phone is dynamically commanded to transmit the minimum power necessary to maintain the digital link. In each of these configurations, received power was measured mid-aisle along the length of the cabin, as well as external to the aircraft to a range of 1 km. Major findings were: 1) At mid-aisle, typical MEF for 100 phones was 9 dB; 2) MEF was accurately predicted from a empirically-derived path loss model and the known distribution of devices within the cabin; 3) Compared to full-power operation, cumulative power from 100 phones was reduced by approximately 60 dB when in communication with an onboard picocell; 4) Under picocell control, cumulative signal power from 100 phones was not observable beyond approximately 200 meters from the aircraft; 5) A handset outside the aircraft was unable to acquire the picocell signal beyond approximately 500 meters; 6) Each passenger standing in the aisle produced 0.5 to 1.0 dB of additional path loss along the length of the cabin. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
