Deployment Protection for Interference of 5G Base
In this study, we primarily focus on the interference of 5G base stations with radio altimeters and the fundamental 5G emission. The impact of 5G interference on radio altimeters is a novel and
9 Report24 found that all aircraft types and multiple operations received interference from both simulated fundamental and spurious 5G emissions. The RTCA Report concluded that “5G base stations present a isk of harmful interference to radio altimeters across all aircraft types, wi
Conclusion Potential interference by 5G base stations operating on frequencies adjacent to the altimeters' band is of concern to the aviation sector, where it could cause disruptions and liabilities to their commercial transport business and operations.
From a telecommunication perspective, technical mitigation solutions should be applied to existing 5G deployments in territories experiencing interference, as suggested in the literature. For instance, base station power levels and antenna tilt should be adjusted considering the worst-case interference scenarios.
The 5G Task Force of the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) performed an interference analysis using empirical data at multiple altitudes (RTCA, 2020). This detailed study confirmed 5G systems interference exceeding the safe limit for altimeters.
