  • Patent number: 5323332
    Abstract: The Instrument Landing System Calibrator employs a combined analog radio frequency downconverter with a digital control system for analysis of difference in depth of modulation of tones generated by an instrument landing system localizer and glide slope transmitters. Signal sensitivity and accuracy is increased by elimination of system and phase noise present in purely analog designs and hybrid analog digital designs where digital signal processing is conducted at audio frequencies. Digital signal processing is conducted at video frequency with a single heterodyne from VHF and UHF frequency through selectable crystals. Selection of ILS channels is extended by the use of high speed video digital processing in conjunction with the use of selectable filters and selectable crystals to include all ILS channels.
