Digital Recording and Processing of Doppler Microwave Landing System Data.

Abstract

The feasibility demonstration stage in the development of the Doppler Microwave Landing System to meet the ICAO OR involves the collecting and processing during the 9 month trials period of a large amount of data. A description is given of the effect of the various decisions made to ensure satisfactory collection, treatment and presentation of the trials results together with the necessary systems descriptions. Most of the DMLS information is in digital form as is the position reference information derived from kinetheodolites. One hundred hours flying consisting of some 500 runs is planned.
