Title: Transponder landing system
Inventor: WINNER KARL
IPC: G01S3/46
Filed: 2001-05-09
Abstract: A method of determining a position of an aircraft having a transponder which transmits a reply signal in response to an interrogation signal, comprises: receiving the reply signal on a plurality of antennas disposed as an array; estimating a position of the aircraft from the received reply signal; determining selected characteristics of the reply signal and analyzing the differential phase of the reply signals to determine whether respective reply signals originate from different antennas on the aircraft. A precision glide path apparatus is for guiding aircraft along an approach path within operable range of an interrogator, which transmits an interrogation signal. The aircraft has a transponder switchably connected between two antennas and the transponder transmits a reply signal in response to the interrogation signal. The apparatus comprises: a) an elevation measurement system comprising: i) a plurality of antennas, ii) a synchronized timer which determines a time between the interrogation signal and receipt of the transponder reply signal at each of the plurality of antennas, and iii) a differential carrier phase calculator which calculates a differential carrier phase between a first receive channel including a first antenna, and a second receive channel including a second antenna; and b) a central processor comprising: i) a time based position estimator which estimates a position based on the synchronized time of reply signal receipt on selected antennas, ii) a diversity antenna calculator which detects reply signals emanating from more than one antenna on the aircraft, estimates a distance between the aircraft antennas, and compensates the differential carrier phase by the estimated distance, and iii) a combined position calculator which determines a position based on the compensated differential carrier phase and the time based position estimate. A transponder landing system comprises: an antenna array disposed orthogonally to a landing area, the array being sensitive to a reply signal; a elevation processor in operative communication with the array, the processor calculating a range based on a time of receipt of the reply signal, and an angle of the reply signal relative to the array; and a correction processor which corrects for position errors induced by multipath receipt of reply signals as a function of the calculated range.
