  • Range processor for DME
    Patent number: 4554547
    Abstract: A range processor for airborne distance measuring equipment in which coherency of reply signals from the ground based DME station is determined by incrementing the contents of storage locations of a random access memory device for each reply signal according to the time of reception of the reply signal and for decrementing the contents of the storage location if no reply signal is received. Whenever the contents of a storage location exceeds a threshold value a range gate is generated so that the next reply received within the range gate causes the time of reception of the reply to be stored as range data.
