Assignee:
Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
H04B 100
US Classification:
455 69, 455 75, 455126, 455522
Abstract:
A closed loop automatic gain compensation method and circuit for a radio transmission and reception system formed of a radio frequency transmitter coupled through a high power amplifier to a radio frequency antenna to transmit a radio frequency transmission signal, the automatic gain compensation circuit utilizing the preexisting radio system cabling.
Radar Altimeter
US Patent:
6992614, Jan 31, 2006
Filed:
Apr 22, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/829849
Inventors:
James W. Joyce - Olathe KS, US
Assignee:
Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ
International Classification:
G01S 13/32
US Classification:
342122, 342120
Abstract:
A radar altimeter is provided that includes a transmitter operable to generate a radio signal at a modulation frequency, and transmit the radio signal toward a ground surface for reflection therefrom to thereby propagate a reflected radio signal. The radar altimeter also includes a receiver operable to receive the reflected radio signal, and determine the altitude of the aircraft based on the modulation frequency of the radio signal and a difference frequency derived from the radio signal and the reflected radio signal. The receiver is also operable to control the transmitter so as to vary the modulation frequency of the radio signal based on the altitude of the aircraft. Preferably, the modulation frequency of the radio signal is greater at lower altitudes than at higher altitudes.
