- DO-178B Level A (software considerations in airborne systems and equipment certification)
Performance Within 5G Cellular Environment
In collaboration with the FAA and RTCA, Honeywell has performed radio frequency testing on the KRA405B radar altimeter to assess its ability to meet its minimum operating performance specifications when subjected to radio frequency energy from 5G cellular base stations. The KRA-405B requires the installation of an external bandpass filter between the radar altimeter receive antenna and the radar altimeter receive input. The external bandpass filter reduces the unit’s susceptibility to interference from 5G base stations.
Aircraft using the KRA-405B radar altimeter with the external bandpass filter are able to obtain Alternative Means of Compliance (AMOC) to the FAA Airworthiness Directives 2021- 23-12 (fixed-wing) and 2021-23-13 (helicopters) that were introduced by FAA in December 2021. The bandpass filter is part number 68013467-001 and is available from Honeywell today. Contact us for for bandpass filter pricing and availability.
