Control of the Low Frequency Generators in the Avionics Mode (.pdf)
Avionics receivers for VOR and ILS provide demodulated audio outputs that are used to drive aircraft cockpit display unit controllers and auto-pilot systems. To enable the testing of this circuitry in isolation from the avionics receiver, the test signal generator must be able to simulate

Air China's First RNP Approach Into Linzhi Airport, Tibet
approach to Runway 05 curves to the right to avoid this ridge. But RNP is very precise and the aircraft we are on is equipped with Honeywell Pegasus flight management systems and Rockwell Collins multi-mode receivers. The avionics suite uses GPS receivers to fix our position within 3-4 meters (10-13 ft

F-22 and F-35 Suffer From Network Gaps
use RF intra-flight data link systems, which generate steered, stabilized, pencil beams on a handshake arrangement, so that the beams lock on to the receiver aircraft. The Harris Multifunction Advanced Data Link (MADL) on the F-35 uses six phased array antennas to provide spherical coverage around

Sensors help gauge if jets are fit to fly
industry are limited by a "dead zone" the distance associated with the time required for the excitation pulses to saturate the receiver. At 32 kHz, the dead zone extends 2 to 3 ft. This distance is inconsequential when testing a miles-long pipeline. But it is a problem in aircraft bulkheads

Accelerometer for AHRS Application (.pdf)
Inertial navigation is the process of calculating the position and velocity of a body (such as an aircraft) from self-contained accelerometers and gyroscopes. Attitude and Heading Reference Systems or better known as AHRS are 3-axis sensors that provide heading, attitude and yaw information
