Beijing airport's radars get the wrong signal

June 9 - Radar1 at Beijing's airport was subjected to interference from radio-controlled cameras on a building 14 kilometers away, an investigation3 by China top radio watchdog has found.

 

"Fuzzy signals" affected4 the radars5 for almost a week, potentially putting flight safety at risk.

 

"The radio waves severely6 disturbed normal flight take off and landings," Su Qing, of Northern China Air Traffic Management Bureau's communication navigation sector7, said.

 

Three mini-cameras with radio aerials installed in building elevators were responsible for the interference.

 

Niu Kai, from China's top radio watchdog, said the case has been reported to Radio Management of China, and was also being handled by the Beijing radio management bureau.

 

Several monitoring stations and mobile monitoring facilities were used to use to track the source of the interfering8 radio waves.

 

The cameras were located in the Dashanzi area, some 14 kilometers away from the airport, in a dorm building affiliated9 with Panasonic, after a two-day investigation.

 

"The radio was using the same frequency channel as the airport radar, therefore, largely dampening the performance of the radar," Su told China Daily.

 

Interfering signals can result inaccurate10 flight traffic data being reported.

 

Flights are especially susceptible11 during take-off and landing because all frequency bands are working.

 

Aircraft need clean and clear radio channels.

 

Power and signal are two decisive factors that determine how strong a radio wave is.

 

In this case, two buildings blocked the signal from two of the cameras, leaving one camera to interfere2 with the airport's radars.

 

The radio management regulation, issued in 1993, falls short of describing the "safe distance and area" regarding a radio's affected area, Niu said.
