Agreed.
Airports having a signal strength equal to the new detection range they have seem fair, a plain static value equal to the 17.32pc range. Don't involve warp factors or patents into the airport signal at all. And don't multiply the signal by the number of airports.
Using patents for anything like this is too easily exploitable. And punishing a player for having more airports in their solar system also seem kinda weird.
