Short summary
The ever increasing use of PEDs (passenger or portable electronic devices) has put pressure on the aircraft industry and operators to reevaluate established restrictions in PED-use on airplanes in the last years. This paper presents a measurement campaign in an Airbus A320. Although there were many measured emissions from 150 different PED (including many attached cables; operated by 69 test passengers) detected within the cabin, no disturbance signals were detectable at the aircraft antennas.
