 Overview of EMC
-The widespread use of electronic circuits for
communication, computation, automation, and other
purposes makes it necessary for diverse circuits to operate
in close proximity to each other.

-Electromagnetic interference (EMI) has become a major

problem for circuit designers, and it is likely to become even
more severe in the future

-Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of an

electronic system to:
(1) function properly in its intended electromagnetic
environment and
(2) not be a source of pollution to that electromagnetic
environment

After refarming, it is necessary to measure noise around the DaNang International Airport.

Handling noise to guarantee aviation safety is the most important priority.

Conclusions:

Refarming 900MHz band by MobiFone Operator has been successfully done.

Nowadays, aviation safety is more and more important, so measuring and handling noise
affected to navigation aid devices is very necessary.

EMC interference should be monitored frequently in general.
