US Patent:

60610220, May 9, 2000

Filed:

Jun 4, 1999

Appl. No.:

9/326357

Inventors:

Lionel Nicholas Menegozzi - Annandale NJ
Albert Charles Harding - Stockholm NJ
Edward F. Van Alstine - Wyckoff NJ

Assignee:

ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc. - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

G01S 504

US Classification:

342442

Abstract:

A method for finding a direction associated with a radiated electromagnetic wave, the method including the steps of: detecting the radiated electromagnetic wave; measuring at least one gain difference and at least one phase difference associated with the detected electromagnetic wave; estimating an elevational angle and an azimuthal angle associated with the detected electromagnetic wave using the at least one measured gain difference; determining a plurality of possible elevational and azimuthal angles associated with the detected electromagnetic wave using the at least one measured phase difference; and, respectively selecting one of the plurality of possible elevational and one of the plurality of possible azimuthal angles as elevational and azimuthal angles associated with the detected electromagnetic wave using the estimated elevational and azimuthal angles.

Appl. No.:

9/022820

Inventors:

Edwin S. Thompson - Campbell Hall NY
William A. Crable - Blauvelt NY
Albert Harding - Hamburg NJ

Assignee:

Sensormatic Electronics Corporation - Boca Raton FL

International Classification:

G04N 5268

US Classification:

348705

Abstract:

A modular video signal matrix switcher is constructed with a midplane architecture. The functional components of the system include a power supply board, a controller board, one or two output boards, an optional control signal generating board, and one or more switching boards. These components are contained within a housing which has a number of non-dedicated board placement slots. The non-dedicated slots can receive any one of a switching board, an output board or a camera control signal generating board. Each type of board component is assigned a respective distinguishing color pursuant to a color coding system. The color coding system facilitates configuration management, assembly and maintenance operations.

International Classification:

G01S 504

US Classification:

342442

Abstract:

A hybrid amplitude/phase comparison direction finding system for aircraft, employing a unique calibration system to compensate for tolerance variations in the antennas. The calibration system utilizes a programmable read only memory (PROM) for each antenna pair, wherein calibration data from pre-measured antenna patterns of the associated antennas are stored. The calibration data preferably includes measured relative amplitude (electromagnetic field strength) and phase data, as a function of frequency and angle from a common reference plane, for the associated antenna pair. This calibration data is stored in a PROM which is preferably disposed within an assembly which includes the antenna pair. A system processor can then retrieve the calibration data during system operation, whereupon angle of arrival measurements can be performed with improved accuracy.
