Description: Jul 01, 2019 . The altimeter measures the height of an aircraft above a fixed level. The instrument senses this by taking the ambient air pressure from the static port. That air is plumbed through the back of the panel and into the back case of the altimeter. Inside the altimeter is a sealed disc called an aneroid, or bellows.

This height may be Above Ground Level (AGL) or Above Sea Level (ASL). 2. Different types of altimeter use different technologies to calculate this height, including pressure-density to altitude relationship and the propagation and reflection of

Description: Nov 13, 2021 . C band weather radars are in the same band as the radio altimeters and potentially as close in frequency as the 5G band. Instead of a 100W or so of effective radiated power, the altimeter needs to protect itself against 500Kw or more ERP. Short pulses but still. I have seen a couple of radars that operate right in the radio altimeter band.

Radar altimeters operate in the 4.2-4.4 GHz frequency range (their sweet spot) and the fear is that the nearby powerful cell signals will cause interference for the avionics.
