There are two aspects to the aircraft design recommendations in this report. One aspect defines aircraft system and equipment RF susceptibility qualification recommendations that provide tolerance to RF from intentionally transmitting PEDs. This is commonly referred to as protection from PED back door coupling. The recommendations closely follow existing practices for aircraft system high intensity radiated field (HIRF) protection. Acceptable test approaches for verifying the aircraft system RF susceptibility qualification are defined. The second aspect defines acceptable interference path loss between aircraft radio receivers and PEDs that emit spurious RF. This is commonly referred to as protection from PED front door coupling. Extensive analysis of measured PED spurious emissions was performed so that the interference path loss targets are based on statistics of actual PED emissions rather than regulatory specifications. Interference path loss test methods are defined. This report also defines recommended approaches for demonstrating compliance with aircraft design certification regulations.
