ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for a digital averaging filter, particularly suited for use with an aeronautical navigation receiver, for reducing oscillatory deviation errors that appear in a course deviation voltage produced by the receiver and occur as the result of reflected incoming radio-navigation signals and/or interfering signals as described. In essence, this apparatus first amplifies, filters and repetitively samples the course deviation voltage to provide digital representations thereof. Each digital representation is then converted by a digital to pulse count converter into a series of pulses wherein the value of each digital representation is encoded into the number of pulses in the series. Thereafter, these pulses are totalized over a pre-defined interval. The resulting totalized count is then divided to produce an average value, which at the end of the pre-defined interval accurately reflects the average course deviation error. Advantageously, this average value is substantially free of any oscillatory deviation errors. This average value is then converted to an equivalent analog value for eventual display on a course deviation indicator.
