    Abstract: A system determines three-dimensional attitude of a moving platform using signals from two closely spaced Global Positioning System (GPS) antennas. The system includes three rate gyroscopes and three accelerometers rigidly mounted in a fixed relationship to the platform to aid in determining the attitude. The system applies signals from a first of the two GPS antennas to sufficient channels of a GPS receiver to support navigation. The system applies signals from a second of the two GPS antennas to the remaining receive channels, which are configured to support interferometry. The system optimally selects the navigation and interferometry channels to provide an interferometric heading solution. The system resolves the ambiguity normally associated with the interferometric heading solution by having the closely spaced GPS antennas and using interferometry to refine a coarse heading estimate from a GPS plus Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) transfer alignment solution. The system achieves close sub-meter spacing of the two GPS antennas by merging many temporal interferometric measurements that result from an attitude memory provided by the IMU time-history solution.

    Abstract: A ground-based, precision aircraft landing system provides CAT I precision approach and landing guidance. The aircraft elevation position is determined by measuring differential carrier phase and time-of-arrival of the aircraft ATCRBS transponder reply. The transponder reply is received at a plurality of sensor antenna locations where it is then conveyed to a sensor, demodulated and digitized. The data is transmitted to a central processor where calibration and multipath corrections are applied. Aircraft transponder diversity antenna switching is isolated from the jitter and colored noise of transponder reply multipath by correlating differential phase jumps measured between separate sensor antennas. An estimate of the diversity antenna separation is maintained by Kalman filter processing; the estimated separation is used to correct the differential phase measurement data of aircraft elevation. The corrected phase measurement and time-of-arrival measurement is processed using another Kalman filter to achieve the desired aircraft elevation positioning accuracy. A similar differential carrier phase and time-of-arrival subsystem is applied to achieve an azimuth measurement of the aircraft position. The combined azimuth and elevation of the aircraft is then compared to the desired approach path, and the aircraft position error relative to the desired approach is communicated to the aircraft.

    Abstract: The inner product of noise eigenvalue vectors and azimuth vectors is transformed using an FFT and a MUSIC spectrum is calculated (Step 15). Alternatively the inner product of signal eigenvalue vectors and azimuth vectors is transformed using the FFT and a MUSIC spectrum is calculated (Step 17). A DOA is then estimated based on the MUSIC spectrum obtained (Step 16), thereby decreasing the quantity of calculations required for detecting a DOA of an incident wave using MUSIC algorithm.

    Abstract: The invention comprises a direction finding receiving system using a plurality of spaced apart antenna elements mounted in cruciform configuration. Each antenna is connected to an individual receiver, the outputs of which are connected to a broadband digital phase detector. The broadband digital phase detector is used to calibrate the transmission channels and builds a table of phase corrections indexed against an operating frequency. On normal operation, the direction finder measures the frequency of the received signal and retrieves the corresponding phase correction from the calibration memory. The phase measurements are then corrected to yield a more accurate angle of arrival.
