Improvement of Reception Noise During Formation Flight of Aircraft

Abstract

This paper presents improvement of the reception noise suppression method during formation flights of aircraft. Since aircraft communication equipment is very important for flight mission and safety to perform the functions of internal/external communications, it is required to implement noise-free, clean communication quality, and transmitting/receiving functions. Therefore, the FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) analysis and failure search were performed on the reception noise, and the internal noise of the intercom that affected the reception noise and the none-transmition phenomenon was identified. We changed the multiple grounds of the intercom to a single ground and applied an improved method of filtering the DC Offset voltage. As a result, the voice quality of the communication system of the aircraft was improved through the reduction of the reception noise during formation flights, and it was verified by ground and flight tests.
