titleOfInvention | VLF navigation system |
abstract | A VLF navigation system suitable for highly accurate worldwide aircraft navigation utilizing existing VLF transmitting stations on a "dead reckoning" basis with initial and intermediate fixes. The system is enabled to utilize all existing VLF transmitting stations regardless of station frequency by novel receiver phase-locked loop means which normalizes all station frequencies to phase coherent independent data signals of a common working frequency. In one form of the invention, utilizing hyperbolic coordinates, both RF stations of each station pair utilized for computation are such VLF transmitting stations; while in another form of the invention, utilizing Rho-Rho coordinates, one RF station of each station pair is an on-board frequency standard normalized to the common working frequency, and the other station of each pair is one of the VLF transmitting stations. n Computer means, which may be part of the "on-board" equipment, selects station pairs for optimum station geometry and range, and by comparing the phase differences between the phase coherent data signals for respective station pairs, determines a Δ time and hence a Δ position in suitable coordinates from the initial or intermediate calibration point. Novel multiplexing and counting means, and logic circuitry associated therewith, enable a single counting means to be rapidly sequentially employed by the computer to make the time difference comparison for a series of station pairs. n The system is extremely accurate for a number of reasons, including but not limited to the inherent frequency stability of VLF transmitting stations (which are generally atomic clock controlled); the inherent minimal distortion of VLF electromagnetic signals over very long ranges; the fact that errors are not cumulative in the system; and a station pair averaging capability which decreases random errors and permits rejection of the defective signals. |
