Abstract

This paper first dissects the key challenges pertaining to the equipment environmental worthiness of radio electronic systems, then elaborates on the practical application of the radio propagation environment analysis throughout the entire life cycle stages of equipment design, performance testing, and operational deployment. On this basis, this study elucidates the critical importance and imperative necessity of integrating the radio propagation environment into the equipment environmental engineering management system. Finally it puts forward targeted recommendations, including enhancing top-level design, refining regulatory standard, bolstering technical support and advancing test platform construction for radio electronic equipment environmental engineering. These measures are intended to expand the cognitive dimensions of equipment environmental engineering, reconstruct a full-spectrum management system, and thereby provide robust technical support and actionable guidance for elevating the equipment environmental worthiness of radio electronic systems.
