DSB Doppler VOR and its performance

Abstract

DSB Doppler VOR has the advantage in reducing the siting effects and bearing errors as compared to conventional VOR and SSB Doppler VOR, and adoption of DSB Doppler VOR is being considered in Japan.

The performance test have been carried out on the course characteristics and the stability of the system utilizing the Antenna Test Tower in the Electronic Navigation Research Institute and at Choshi, east of Tokyo.

This paper describes an analytical study on some operational problems in DSB Doppler VOR and its performance test results.
