International Classification:

G01S 1308

US Classification:

342173, 342118, 342120, 342122, 342165

Abstract:

A method, apparatus and circuit for testing a radio altimeter is disclosed.

Appl. No.:

11/563397

Inventors:

Robert S. Doyle - Peoria AZ, US

Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

G01S 1/44

US Classification:

342404, 342402, 342405

Abstract:

A system and method for generating signals for testing a Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (VOR) receiver is described. The system includes a waveform generator and a signal generator. The waveform generator generates a waveform representing a waveform generated by a VOR ground station during operation of a VOR system. The signal generator receives the waveform from the waveform generator and generates a signal for testing the VOR receiver.

International Classification:

H05K 714
B22F 702

US Classification:

361792

Abstract:

A multi-layered printed wiring board for high frequency application includes a first board of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) having a metallic sheet on each side. The first side is etched to form high frequency circuity using micro-strip technology and the second side being a metallic sheet forming the ground plane. Laminated to the ground plane of the first board is a fiberglass board of thickness, A. Further, laminated to the fiberglass board is a second board of fiberglass having a thickness, A. The second board also has metallic sheets on both side, the side being laminated to the fiberglass board being etched to form strips, prior to being laminated, forming signal and transmission lines utilizing strip-line technology. Vias are formed to interconnect predetermined metallic layers.

Appl. No.:

8/732865

Inventors:

Eric Karl Becker - Peoria AZ
Robert John Olson - Peoria AZ
Robert Stebbing Doyle - Glendale AZ

Assignee:

Honeywell Inc.

International Classification:

G01S 1395

US Classification:

342 26

Abstract:

A radar system embeds information into the radar picture data for display on any display device. The radar receiver communicates weather data to a signal processor which generates a weather array. An I/O processor transmits data in the weather array to a display device via a picture bus. Alphanumeric data which is to be embedded into or combined with the weather array is stored in a message array. Font information for each alphanumeric character is stored in a font array. The message array and the font array are combined and translated into a text array which corresponds to the weather array. Prior to transmitting each radial of data to the display device, the I/O processor copies the appropriate radial data from the text array to the weather array thereby causing the desired alphanumeric characters to be displayed on the display device.

Honeywell International Inc. - Morris Plains NJ

International Classification:

G08G 5/02
G08G 5/00
G01S 19/15

Abstract:

A system comprises a GNSS unit onboard an aircraft, with the GNSS unit operative to generate horizontal and vertical deviation signals. An onboard converter unit is in communication with the GNSS unit, and an onboard radio navigation computer is in communication with the converter unit. The converter unit performs a method for converting the deviation signals to equivalent VHF instrument landing system signals. The method comprises receiving the deviation signals; deriving signal modulations based on the deviation signals to produce localizer and glideslope digital signals; converting the localizer digital signals to a VHF localizer analog signal; converting the glideslope digital signals to a VHF glideslope analog signal; optionally performing an integrity check of the VHF localizer and VHF glideslope analog signals; performing high integrity switching between the VHF localizer/glideslope analog signals, and the deviation signals; and outputting the VHF localizer and VHF glideslope analog signals to the radio navigation computer.
