  • Publication number: 20100168937
    Abstract: In a method for the flight control of a plurality of aircraft flying in formation with respect to one another, correction signals are generated for an autopilot system or a command display in order to allow one or more following aircraft within the formation to follow a lead aircraft in the formation in a predeterminable relative position. A nominal trajectory of the following aircraft, parallel to the trajectory (1) of the lead aircraft, is calculated at each instantaneous position P?act of the following aircraft, which trajectory runs through the instantaneous actual position P?act and a reference point P?RP. (The reference point P?RP is the projection of a point PRP, which is separated by the longitudinal nominal distance xnom between the lead aircraft and the following aircraft, on the trajectory of the lead aircraft, taking into account the lateral and vertical actual distances yact and zact between the trajectory of the lead aircraft and that of the following aircraft.

  • Patent number: 5305347
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method of measuring the rough frequency deviation in digital communication transmissions with echo propagation, particularly in the short-wave domain. A repeatedly transmitted PN sequence serves as the preamble of a data block. This PN sequence is compressed at the receiving end in matched filters provided in each one of a plurality of simultaneous, frequency offset Doppler channels. The Doppler channel having the greatest amplitude in the quadrature signal is selected for a determination of the rough frequency deviation. To detect a pattern in the preamble, the quadrature signals are examined for similarities by an amplitude comparison or in a cross-correlation process.
