Abstract

In this paper, the electric field radiated by WiFi sources inside an aircraft is studied. 3D modeling using the FDTD method allows calculation of electric field near punctual locations and on the entire aircraft´s surface. The influence of the furniture inside the cabin is also discussed. Measurements in the aircraft (a Dassault Aviation Falcon) are presented. The comparison with real tests demonstrates a rather good concordance with computations.
