3. How does it works

1. FIELD PROGRAMMABLE GATE-ARRAY (FPGA)

An integrated circuit (IC) that can be configured by a customer after manufacturing to program the system.

Contain programmable logic components called "logic blocks", and interconnects.

FPGA chips handle dense logic and memory elements offering very high logic capacity

Can be configurable without change their hardware Vendors:

Xilinx, Altera, Actel FPGA product

Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGA, Spartan-6 LXT FPGA & Stratix V from Altera

2. Introduction & Components of Instrument Landing System (ILS)

o Is an instrument aid for pilot during landing.o Very useful when limited visibility occur at runway.

GROUND EQUIPMENT

• Provide horizontal course guidance to runway centerline.

• Localizer, glide slope and marker beacon being monitored.

•Provides vertical alignment and angle of approach.

LOCALIZER

AIRBORNE EQUIPMENT

•Receive radio frequency from

ground

•To detect radio
