Two prominent Future Communication Infrastructure (FCI) applicants that were anticipated recently due to speedy rise in the air traffic volume were the 1-2 GHz band aeronautical frameworks L-DACS1 and L-DACS2 for Air-to-Ground (AG) communication with the most suitable approach being selected as L-DACS1. A filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) based communication systems is been proposed and also its advantages over LDACS systems has been shown in this work. Spectral density of power, Signal to interference rate, and BER execution are the 3 parameters that are used to measure against all future aeronautical communication systems. In the existence of distance measuring equipment (DME) that produces the original obstructing signals, it could be seen that FBMC produces enhanced working when compared with the LDACS proposals. Simulation results show that the presence of well-localized subcarrier prototype filters in the Filter bank multicarrier practically minimizes the out-of-band power and also the obstruction from DME can be reduced. Eliminating CP, postfix and windowing method employed in LDACS and also shortening the number of guard band subcarriers in FBMC could enhance the throughput and spectral efficiency. Thus proving FBMC based communication framework could be an attractive applicant for the imminent air to ground communication entity.
