  • Patent number: 9762335
    Abstract: A method for accessing aircraft interference path loss in an aircraft. A plurality of radio frequency signals that are stepped through a plurality of frequencies in a frequency range is transmitted from a plurality of locations within an interior of the aircraft. Radio frequency signals present at a receive antenna are received in response to transmitting the plurality of radio frequency signals to form a plurality of measurements. An average of averages curve is generated from the plurality of measurements. A peak to average ratio is identified. Field uniformity is identified. A standard error for the average of averages curve is determined. An upper bound for the aircraft interference path loss in the aircraft is predicted using the average of averages curve, the peak to average ration, the field uniformity, and the standard error.
