Statistical Study of the Distance of Closest Approach of Aircraft to Ground-Based Emitters
Abstract
A Technical Program was initiated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) William J. Hughes Technical Center to determine the closest distances that aircraft fly to high-intensity radiation emitters. This program was launched as the FAA and the High-Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF) advisory committees were defining HIRF regulatory rulemaking requirements. This study was conducted at the Denver International Airport to determine the actual closest distances that aircraft fly in proximity to high-intensity radiation emitters. Information on emitter location, frequency, power, etc., was obtained from the Government Master File. Aircraft flight information was obtained from the SAR (System Analysis Recordings) tapes at the Denver En Route Center. This program was used in conjunction with a research effort which located all high-powered emitters in the U.S. and Europe and established the actual HIRF environment.
