4. ADI Displays
A. A DH light is located on each pilot's ADI and HI and is controlled by the decision height selected on the height indicator located on the same instrument panel. The brightness of the light on the ADI is controlled by the master dim control.
B. The receiver-transmitter supplies a dc altitude signal to the ADI rising runway. The rising runway comes into view at the bottom of the ADI at approximately 200 feet and shows relative airplane altitude from 200 feet to touchdown.
5. Antenna
A. The antennas are linearly polarized horns. Two identical antennas are used in the LRRA system, one for transmitting and one for receiving. The antennas are connected to the receiver-transmitter through coaxial cables and are flush mounted on the lower fuselage centerline as follows:
TRANSMIT ANTENNA No. 1 STA 450 RECEIVE ANTENNA No. 2 STA 430
TRANSMIT ANTENNA No. 2 STA 390 RECEIVE ANTENNA No. 2 STA 410
6. Operation (Fig. 2)
A. Altitude Measurement Operation
(1)
The LRRA system receives 115V AC from a circuit breaker on P-18 or P6 load control center, as applicable. The receiver-transmitter unit generates its own low voltage ac and dc power supplies and also provides a 26V AC supply to the height indicator.
(2)
The receiver-transmitter consists of seven basic subassemblies, namely: modulator, receiver-transmitter, altitude processor, monitor processor, monitor, altitude trips and power supply.
(3)
The output from a 100-Hz triangle wave generator in the modulator is supplied to a varactor in the transmitter oscillator to produce a 100-Hz FM modulated, output signal. The frequency of the transmit signal, centered at 4300 MHz, is continuously varied from 4250 to 4350 and back to 4250 MHz at a rate of 100 times per second. From the oscillator, the transmitter signal passes through a directional coupler, is amplified by the power amplifier and then routed through a second directional coupler and an isolator to the transmit antenna.
(4)
Each directional coupler is connected to a quartz bulk acoustic delay line that is the equivalent of 300 feet of altitude. The delayed signal is heterodyned in a mixer with the nondelayed signal applied from the transmitter. Mixer output is the difference frequency, which is amplified and limited into a square wave. One delay line circuit produces calibration signal 1, which is used for comparison purposes in the altitude processor, the other delay circuit produces calibration signal 2, which is used in the monitor processor.
