FEASIBILITY STUDY OF AIRBORNE TACAN INTERROGATOR MODIFICATIONS TO REDUCE FALSE SECTOR LOCK-ON.
Abstract
A feasibility study of airborne TACAN interrogator modifications to reduce false sector lock-ons has been conducted. Two different types of circuit modifications were investigated: In one type, called Modification No. 1, the 15-cps gate-width was limited to a maximum of = 10 degrees. This allowed the 15-cps error to be as much as =10 degrees without causing any error to be indicated on the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI). In Modification No. 2, the 15-cps gate-width was limited to a miximum of =20 degrees. This allowed the 15-cps error to be as much as =20 degrees without causing the servo motor to go into the search condition.
