Far Field Monitor for Instrument Landing Systems.

Abstract

This report describes a study performed to determine the nature of scattering of ILS radiated signals by objects on the airport property. These included both taxiing and overflying aircraft. The interaction of this scattered energy with the direct radiation was studied to determine the derogating effects of ILS guidance. This resulted in the development of four system level concepts for detecting glide path derogation. One technique, the Vector DDM, was selected as being most practical from a sensitivity, reliability, and cost point-of-view. (Author)
