Abstract
An aircraft landing system employs an array of antennas aligned across the runway, and equipment on board the aircraft employs radio interferometry to measure path length differences between the aircraft and selected pairs of the antennas. The antennas each include circuitry for sideband modulation of a basic FM signal so that each antenna radiates a pair of sidebands displaced above and below the basic signal by a respective number of increments. The FM signal can be carried on an X-band carrier of nominally ten GHz, with a frequency deviation of .+-.250 MHz and a modulating frequency of 20 Hz. Further antennas provide taxiing guidance. Data can be communicated on the system.
