Measurements of the 1030 and 1090 MHz Environments at JFK International Airport
Measurements of signals in the 1030 and 1090 MHz frequency bands have been made by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory in the last several years, previously in the Boston area and most recently in April 2011, at JFK International Airport near New York City. This JFK measurement activity was performed as a part of the Lincoln Laboratory Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) work for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and is the subject of this report. This report includes: overall characteristics of the 1030/1090 MHz environments; analysis of the TCAS air-to-air coordination process; examination of 1090 MHz Extended Squitter transmissions for use in TCAS; and assessment of the extent and impact of TCAS operation on the airport surface.
