The aim of this research is to assess feasibility of technology demonstration in developing digital resolution direction finding integrating with theta-theta position fixing method. The proposal is to build an integrated architecture which will simultaneously provide both position and direction of an aircraft in even most adverse situations. Theta-theta is one of the methods of positioning an aircraft in flight. Without the help of 'range' information this method uses only the angles generated from two different VOR transmitters to aircraft; it is possible to find the exact location of the aircraft whereas in proposed digital radio direction finding (DRDF), it is possible to find out aircrafts' direction with respect to runway by simulating the codes containing 'bearing' information generated from VOR transmitters. This integrated architecture will reduce the complexity and cost associated with aviation industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
