GUIDANCE SYSTEM FOR LEADING AN AIRCRAFT TO A REFERENCE POINT; ASSOCIATED GUIDANCE METHOD
The invention relates to a guidance system for leading an aircraft to a reference point, characterised in that it comprises: An active beacon capable of emitting a first electromagnetic signal in a first emission cone, defined by an apex coinciding with the reference point, a first beam angle and a first axis corresponding to an emission direction; and a multi-beam radar, installed on board the aircraft, operating in reception mode and capable of performing deviation measurements on a signal received from the active beacon, the multi-beam radar comprising an antenna adapted for receiving in at least two spatially separate reception cones.
ANTENNA AND RADAR
Embodiments of this application disclose an antenna. The antenna may be applied to the field of automatic driving and the field of vehicle-to-everything, and the antenna includes a first radiating element and a first feed line. A first end of the first feed line is connected to the first radiating element. The first radiating element and the first feed line are arranged on a same surface of a dielectric substrate. The first feed line includes a first feed line segment, and an acute angle between the first feed line segment and a current direction of the first radiating element is greater than or equal to 20 degrees, and is less than or equal to 70 degrees. A feeding manner of the antenna is parallel feeding.
DOUBLE-SIDED BOARD, RADAR APPARATUS, TRANSMISSION MEMBER, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING TRANSMISSION MEMBER
A double-sided board includes a first-type conductor layer, a second-type conductor layer, a waveguide-filled dielectric layer and a waveguide. The waveguide-filled dielectric layer is a dielectric layer provided between the first-type conductor layer and the second-type conductor layer. The waveguide is provided in such a manner as to penetrate the waveguide-filled dielectric layer in a direction from one of the first-type conductor layer and the second-type conductor layer to the other of the two conductor layers. A cross section of the waveguide in a plane parallel to the first-type conductor layer has a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The cross section of the waveguide has, along the longitudinal direction, a central part and two end parts located respectively on two sides of the central part. A lateral length of each of the end parts is larger than a lateral length of the central part.
