Microwave landing system with +/- 90 degree azimuth clearance guidance and 360 degree data coverage

摘要

A microwave landing system incorporates a set of antennas for the sequential transmission of guidance signals through a sequence of directions to enable the reception and decoding of the signals by an airborne receiver. Circuitry is included for the retransmission of a frame of the signals by a procedure wherein the directions of transmissions is altered so as to increase the guidance sector over which the receiver is effective.
