Design Study Report for General Aviation Loran-C Receiver.

Abstract

This document summarizes the results of studies and trade-off analysis conducted for a low cost Loran-C Receiver. The Loran-C Receiver is intended to meet the Minimum Operational Performance Standards for area Navigation (RNAV) equipment for General Aviation Aircraft operating in the National Aerospace System. The studies and analysis examined the required receiver performance, design approaches and design criteria, and cost to the user of the receiver. The study concludes that a low cost receiver meeting the General Aviation RNAV requirements is practical. A design approach for the receiver is described. (Author)
