摘要： The present invention provides a method for efficient use of the transmit power of a Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) that allows enhanced surveillance range and limits radio frequency (RF) interference in crowded airspace. The method reduces power density in crowded airspace by modifying Mode S, Mode A and Mode C interrogations. During Mode S broadcasts, tracking interrogation power is reduced as a function of range. Further transmit power reduction is achieved by broadcasting a variable power density whisper-shout interrogation technique for Mode A/C aircraft when garbling is detected. If garbling is observed during a medium whisper-shout interrogation sequence, the method of the present invention attempts to clear the garbling by using focused high-density whisper-shout steps but only in the ranges where garbling was detected. Formation members can account for other formation members that are TCAS equipped using a special E-TCAS Broadcast Interrogation. The presence of other E-TCAS will be used in the RF interference limiting calculations. Aircraft flying in formation further minimize broadcast power by sharing information between the formation leader and formation aircraft.
摘要翻译：本发明提供了一种有效利用交通警报冲突避免系统（TCAS）的发射功率的方法，其允许增强的监视范围并限制拥挤的空域中的射频（RF）干扰。该方法通过修改模式S，模式A和模式C询问来降低拥挤空域的功率密度。在模式S广播期间，跟踪询问功率作为范围的函数减小。当检测到乱码时，通过广播用于模式A / C飞机的可变功率密度耳语询问技术来实现进一步的发射功率降低。如果在中等耳语询问序列期间观察到乱码，则本发明的方法尝试通过使用聚焦的高密度耳语步骤来清除乱码，但是仅在检测到乱码的范围内。组成员可以考虑使用特殊的E-TCAS广播讯问装备TCAS的其他组织成员。其他E-TCAS的存在将用于RF干扰限制计算。飞机飞行通过在地层导弹和地面飞机之间共享信息进一步最小化广播能力。

摘要： Systems and methods for improving the presentation of wake turbulence information. A processor located on an ownship receives position, heading and type information of another aircraft and position and heading information of the ownship. The processor determines if a possible wake condition exists from the other aircraft based on at least a portion of the received information and at least one predefined threshold and generates a wake icon if a wake condition is determined to exist. The wake condition exists when the ownship's altitude is below a first threshold altitude and above a second threshold altitude, wherein the first and second threshold altitudes are based on the other aircraft's altitude.

摘要： A two-element array antenna system includes a first antenna element and a second antenna element. A transmitting, receiving, and processing (TRP) system is coupled to the first and second antenna elements via, respectively, a single first transmission element and a single second transmission element. The first and second transmission elements have respective transmit-path and receive-path functionality. The TRP system is configured to determine an amplitude offset and phase offset associated with the transmit-path functionality of the first and second transmission elements, and, based on data obtained during the determination of amplitude offset and phase offset associated with the transmit-path functionality of the first and second transmission elements, determine an amplitude offset and phase offset associated with the receive-path functionality of the first and second transmission elements.

摘要： Systems and methods for improving bearing availability and accuracy in a traffic collision-avoidance system (TCAS). In an exemplary method, if only a single phase-difference value is received for one of two two-element antennas, a processor determines an expected maximum antenna element phase-difference value for the elements of the two-element antenna that did not receive a phase-difference value for a target signal source; estimates a phase-difference value for the two-element antenna that did not include a phase-difference value, based on the expected maximum antenna element phase-difference value and a previously determined predicted bearing value; and calculates bearing based on the estimated phase-difference value and a phase-difference value received from the other two-element antenna. The determination is based on previously received signals associated with the target signal source and based on elevation information of the target signal source and a predefined maximum antenna element phase-difference value for the respective antenna element pair. An output device outputs information associated with the calculated bearing.
