The radio-navigation subsystem LOCnoise

The sublibrary ILS of the library NAVLIB contains two different masked subsystem blocks which implement localizer noise signals: LOCnoise1 and LOCnoise2. See the references below for more details about the theoretical backgrounds.

Other blocks in the ILS sublibrary of NAVLIB are: Nominal ILS signals, GSerr, GSnoise, and LOCerr, and the example system ILS example.

LOCnoise1

This block generates localizer noise according to AGARD R-632 (ref.[2]), assuming a constant approach speed. The user must specify the scale length Lloc (typically 130 m), the standard deviation sigma_loc (usually <= 15 micro-Ampere), and the approach speed V.

LOCnoise1 doesn't have any inputs.
Outputsignal: Localizer-noise [micro-Ampere]

LOCnoise2

This block uses a localizer noise filter according to NASA CR-2022 (ref.[3]). The user doesn't have to specify any parameters.

LOCnoise2 doesn't have any inputs.
Outputsignal: Localizer-noise [micro-Ampere]
