APITech(TM) (API Technologies Corp.), a leading provider of high-performance RF

On January 25th, APITech released an article titled "How Does 5G Affect Airline

Industries?"  The paper (https://blog.apitech.com/blog/5g-aviation) detailed

concerns related to the recent launch of the faster high-band 5G cellphone

service in the United States and its potential impact on aircraft safety. The

feedback from this article inspired filter and other novel solutions designed

to mitigate wireless interference currently plaguing global aviation.

APITech's Chief Technology Officer, Ian Dunn, recently spoke on this concern.

"This is the first of many interference issues associated with higher

frequency, broadband communications as wireless becomes the backbone of our

ongoing digital transformation. APITech's core mission and targeted investments

in RF protection address the broader issue of protecting critical electronics

infrastructure from an increasingly dense, confused and overlapping

electromagnetic spectrum".  

As an example, APITech's high-reliability BOM10648 cavity filter is designed to

solve the emerging 5G C-band interference issue with radar altimeters and other

critical avionics systems operating in the globally allocated 4.2-4.4 GHz

aeronautical band. The passband of 4.2-4.4 GHz has less than 1 dB insertion

loss and greater than 50 dB of signal rejection outside the aeronautical

bandwidth with propagation delays of less than 2ns.  This filter housing is 4

inches long and 1 inch square with connector and mounting options available to

satisfy any installation requirement.

APITech's high-performance RF cavity filter solutions allow 5G C-band to take

flight.
