ABSTRACT:
A scanning beam navigational beacon for transmission to a remote station (aircraft, for example) which measures a navigational angle therefrom. A thinned, two-dimensional main antenna array and linear reference array are provided. A single antenna element is provided at each vertical level of the array. Reference radiations are based on main array phase to allow coherent signal processing at the remote station. Azimuth frequency diversity is provided by grouping of the excited main elements and reference array elements at different frequencies, all features cooperating to minimize the effects of azimuthally displaced multipath signals which may fall inside the far-beam of elevation guidance. Thus, the effective array aperture exhibits a distributed frequency pattern in the azimuth plane.
