Solid State Doppler VOR

-Electronic Distributor-

Abstract

The existing D-VOR has shortcomings on the reliabilities and the performances due to the mechanical distributor.

This paper describes the engineering model of the solid state D-VOR which uses the electronic distributor and the electronic reference phase signal generator instead of the mechanical systems to obviate the shortcomings of the existing D-VOR.

The design considerations on the electronic systems are also illustrated; the effects of the switching characteristics on the performance of D-VOR, the quantization noise caused by the electronic digital systems used in the distributor and the reference phase signal generator.
