Bluetooth may affect GPS receivers since GPS signals 1.2276 Gigahertz
for the L2 frequency...

Hi,

Anyone know if there's any research out there showing what effect BlueTooth
has on typical GA avionics? i.e. VOR, LOC, GS, DME, GPS, RNAV, ADF, etc.

Thanks!

I haven't seen any official research on the topic but FWIW bluetooth
uses the 2.4 to 2.483 GHz band whereas aeronautical NavAids operate
down around 280 to 580 KHz. There are no aeronautical band allocations
(navaid or comm) within the bluetooth band. The only transmissions
there are maritime mobile and satelite standard time signals.
Bluetooth devices also have to comply with electronic emmision
standards so radio interferance should be negligable. The effects on a
magnetic compass could be significant however.
