    Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for separating radio signals arriving from different directions and for multiplexing signals intended for receivers dispersed in different directions. The methods and apparatus employ a plurality of antennas with spacing and individual feedline characteristics designed so that a modulation is imparted to each of a plurality of incident signals, for receiving antennas, and radiated signals for transmitting antennas, the modulation level of each signal being determined by the direction of propagation of the signal and by the spacing between antenna pairs. Accordingly, the orientation of lines connecting pairs of antennas as well as the spacing between antennas are set to inhibit the modulation in a particular direction, or to strip a particular modulation off a signal incident from a selected direction.

    Abstract: A ranging system for guiding moving objects over equidistant tracks comprises a ground station and airborne equipment. The ground station includes a receiver and a transmitter connected to each other and to an aerial. The airborne equipment includes a reference-frequency oscillator; a frequency divider for obtaining meander-shaped signals of the modulation frequency connected to the reference-frequency oscillator; a transmitter connected to the frequency divider an airborne aerial coupled to the transmitter; a receiver connected to the airborne aerial; a digital filter, for producing a reference pulse when the modulation frequency signal derived at the output of the receiver crosses zero, connected to the receiver and to the reference-frequency oscillator; a variable delay unit, to shift the reference pulse within the pulse period of the reference-frequency oscillator, connected to the digital filter; a processing unit, for statistical processing of reliable signals to produce an error signal proportional to the deviation of the moving object from a prescribed track, the polarity of the error signal defining the direction of said deviation, coupled to the variable delay unit and to the reference-frequency oscillator; a deviation indicator, for indicating the deviation of the moving object from a prescribed track, connected to the processing unit; a control unit, to control the magnitude of the shift of the reference pulse in the variable delay unit for indicating prescribed equidistant tracks by zero reading of the deviation indicator, coupled to the processing unit, having two command inputs for manual input of commands, and connected to the variable delay unit.

    Abstract: An aircraft landing system which provides a pilot a perspective view of a nway on which he intends to land under zero visibility conditions. The system includes a multiplicity of microwave transmitters spaced at known intervals along both sides of a runway and a timing generator which causes the microwave transmitters to transmit in sequence. The aircraft contains a monopulse receiver which provides conventional azimuth angle video information to a CRT display and also provides range video information to a Y sweep generator. The latter Y sweep generator generates a sweep voltage for the Y axis of the CRT display which is of sufficient length to display all transmitted pulses from all microwave transmitters in sequence with the correct relative spacing between microwave transmitters.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an antenna soft switching system of an Angle of Departure, AoD, direction finding transmitter unit. The soft switching system comprises: a timing unit for obtaining at least a starting time of a switching event, a switching network arranged on a radio frequency, RF, signal path between an RF port and a first antenna port and a second antenna port, and a generator unit for generating at least one waveform for controlling the switching network. The generator unit is configured to control the switching network so that the amplitude of the RF signal is switched substantially smoothly from the first antenna port to the second antenna port so that level of unwanted emissions of a transmitted RF spectrum of the AoD directional finding transmitter unit are reduced. The invention relates also to an AoD direction finding transmitter unit comprising the antenna soft switching system and to an antenna soft switching method for an AoD directional finding transmitter unit.

    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for locating a mobile terminal, in particular a mobile radio terminal for a cellular mobile radio network by way of an apparatus of a motor vehicle. The mobile terminal sets up a connection to at least one first receiver, while the mobile terminal does not set up a connection to the at least one further one of the receivers at least for this locating operation. Both the at least one first receiver and at least one of the further ones of the receivers each determine a field strength of at least one radio signal transmitted by the mobile terminal or a first receiver. The field strengths thus determined are used to locate to locate the mobile terminal.

    Abstract: A method for monitoring depth of a cave front in a cave-type mine. The method includes: providing a stationary reader device and mobile marker devices, each of the marker devices adapted to (i) emit an electromagnetic signal, (ii) detect strength of the signal emitted by another of the marker devices, and (iii) wirelessly transmit information related to the detected signal via the other marker devices to the stationary reader device; drilling a hole into a rock region of a mine, installing the mobile marker devices at sequential known depths within the hole; monitoring the reader device to detect a decrease in the strength of a signal emitted by a first marker device by a second marker device; and in response to a decrease being detected by the second marker device, inferring the depth of the cave front to be between the known depths of the first and second marker devices.
