This document is the final report of a radio frequency (RF) coupling test on a BOEING 727-100 commercial aircraft. The objective of the test was to measure the coupling, or penetration, of radio frequency signals in a BOEING 727-100 in the frequency range of 1.0 megahertz to 6.0 gigahertz. The RF field levels generated inside the airplane during fl
