US Patent:

56192118, Apr 8, 1997

Filed:

Nov 17, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/341244

Inventors:

Philip R. Horkin - Phoenix AZ
Stephen C. Ma - Mesa AZ
Isaac N. Durboraw - Scottsdale AZ
George W. Muncaster - Phoenix AZ

Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

G01S 502
H04B 7185

US Classification:

342357

Abstract:

A communication and position locating system (2) suitable for air traffic control is described. Multiple satellites (40) are provided in two geosynchronous constellations. One constellation (e. g. , 4 satellites) has a first closed ground track (14). The other (e. g. , 2 satellites (161, 182)) has a different ground track (18) or is geostationary, located outside of the first ground track (14). Geolocation information is transmitted by the satellites (40) to aircraft (28) and ground stations (26) so that aircraft (28) can determine their current position. A pseudo range correction map is provided to the aircraft (28) by the base stations (26) to permit differential geolocation measurements. The satellites (40) include communication transceivers (80) so that aircraft (28) can communicate voice and data to other aircraft (28) and to the ground stations (26, 30, 32) and automatically report their position to air traffic control centers (30), e. g. , via the satellites (40).
