Abstract
A system for providing air traffic control within a geographic sector to which a communication frequency in the VHF or UHF range is assigned comprises at least one satellite (configured for a communication with an aircraft in the geographic sector using an analog modulated RFF signal at the communication frequency. The system is configured in such a way that at each time, only one satellite is actively transmitting on the communication frequency assigned to the geographic sector.
Claims21
A system for providing air traffic control within a geographic sector to which a communication frequency in a VHF or UHF range is assigned,
