Aircraft radar altimeters operate within 4.2–4.4 GHz , the lower half of which falls within the C-Band—a frequency range from 3.7–4.2 GHz where the combination of the range of signal transmissions and capacity are optimum.

During the two-week delay in deploying new 5G service, safety experts determined that 5G interference with the aircraft’s radio altimeter could prevent engine and braking systems from transitioning to landing mode , which could prevent an aircraft from stopping on the runway.23 Şub 2022
Read moreDoes 5G interfere with radar?
In the United States, the aviation industry noted during the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rulemaking process that led to the C-Band auction that deployment of 5G networks in this frequency band had the potential to introduce harmful radio frequency (RF) interference to radar altimeters currently operating in …19 Oca 2022
Read moreWhat technology does 5G use?
A: 5G is based on OFDM (Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing) , a method of modulating a digital signal across several different channels to reduce interference. 5G uses 5G NR air interface alongside OFDM principles. 5G also uses wider bandwidth technologies such as sub-6 GHz and mmWave.
