ABSTRACT:
In the standard DME system, an airborne station having transmitted a pair of interrogation pulses receives a plurality of pairs of space-coded reply pulses from which the pulse pairs intended for the airborne station are selected by a decoder (DK) and a correlator (KR).
The invention uses the first pulse of the selected pulse pair for the distance measurement. A measuring counter (MZ) is provided whose count is transferred to a register file (SR) at the reception of every pulse. A reply signal intended for the airborne station stops the write operation, it being insured that the counts based on the two pulses of the reply signal intended for the airborne station are contained in the register file (SR). Starting from the last count based on the second pulse, an evaluating circuit calculates back to the first pulse, taking account of the decoded pulse spacing.
