MLS CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT MODEL

An automated channel assignment model was constructed in response to an FAA need to assess the assignment feasibility of planned MLS angle-guidance equipment in C-band, and its associate L-band Precision Distance Measurement Equipment (PDME). The intersite interference analysis and channel-assignment algorithm capabilities are described. A trial assignment of MLS equipments was performed for a Southwest United States airport environment and the results are summarized. (Author)
