Abstract

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has completed penetration studies on three different aircraft for the Federal Aviation Administration. These studies are used to understand cavity coupling characteristics between antennas placed at various angular positions around an aircraft and to understand the field uniformity within these cavities with antennas placed in various compartments inside the aircraft. This paper shows how penetration varies as a function of frequency, antenna type, antenna polarization, and cavity susceptibility for three different aircraft types, a commercial airline jet, a business jet, and a composite aircraft. The quality factor and time decay of fields for internal coupling between two antennas placed in the aircraft at different locations is also presented.
