ABSTRACT:
An airport landing system includes an airborne transmitter and receiver for transmitting RF energy at a first frequency and receiving RF energy at a second frequency. A stationary RF energy focusing means for focusing received RF energy. At least four receive/transmit modules and at least one RF source module. The RF source module for amplitude modulating and amplifying the received RF energy for retransmission by the receive/transmit modules. The receive/transmit modules having RF energy collector horns physically arranged with at least two vertically disposed horns and two horizontally disposed horns for transmitting at least four relatively high gain powered beams whose patterns cross over at their half power points with the crossover point defining the approach path.
