  • Direct-sequence spread spectrum spectral overlay in the Instrument Landing System glideslope and microwave Landing System bands
    The 23rd Digital Avionics Systems Conference (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37576), 2004
    Co-Authors: Joshua T. Neville, David W. Matolak
    Abstract:

    We compare the performance of direct-sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) code-division multiple access (CDMA) Systems used in spectral overlay mode in two different aeronautical bands: the Instrument Landing System glideslope (ILS-GS) band, from 329-335 MHz, and the microwave Landing System (MLS) band, from 5091-5150 MHz. The purpose of the overlay System is to enable increased spectral efficiency (higher data throughput), for future potential aeronautical data link communications. The effect of the DS-SS System upon the existing aeronautical System (ILS-GS or MLS) is also briefly addressed. Beginning with basic physical characteristics of the two bands, and classical communications analyses, we estimate the potential data rates in both bands for a range of transmit powers, antenna gains, bit error ratios (BER), and example ILS-GS, MLS, and CDMA System parameters. Our comparison uses both analysis and numerical evaluation. We illustrate that while the ILS-GS band offers more favorable propagation conditions, the MLS band offers significantly higher throughputs.

  • Spectral Overlay of Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum in the Instrument Landing System Glideslope Band
    Journal of Aerospace Computing Information and Communication, 2004
    Co-Authors: David W. Matolak, Joshua T. Neville
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we examine the effects of intentional spectral overlay between a directsequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) code-division multiple-access (CDMA) System and the glide slope signal of the Instrument Landing System (ILS) currently employed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The purpose of the overlay System is to enable increased spectral efficiency (higher data throughput), for future potential aeronautical datalink communications, e.g., an “airborne internet.” That is, this overlay would enable simultaneous use of the ILS glideslope band by the current glide slope Systems and a new DS-SS CDMA digital communication System. We estimate the performance degradation incurred by both Systems for several values of transmit powers, DS-SS bandwidths and data rates, and typical ILS glideslope and CDMA System parameters. Our study uses both analysis and computer simulations. We provide examples that explore both ILS glideslope and CDMA System parameter values appropriate for the successful application of the overlay technique.

  • Multipath effect suppression for Instrument Landing System based on MUSIC
    International Conference on Space Information Technology, 2005
    Co-Authors: Xiubin Zhao, Yongsheng Wang, Hengle Jiang, Chuanjin Dai
    Abstract:

    The Decimeter-wavelength Instrument Landing System is designed to assure an exact and timely flight arrival on many airports. But its signal can often be distorted by reflections and scattering caused by objects which are illuminated by the radiating antennas, sometimes referred to be "multipath", which pose a great threat to the System's operation. In this paper, an improved receiver based on spatial spectrum estimation concepts is proposed for safer automatic Landing procedures. The new approach is based on Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation performed by the MUSIC algorithm and signal filter performed by beamforming algorithm. The superior performance of the proposed System with respect to currently employed techniques in the presence of unwanted interferences has been tested in extensive computer simulations.
