Abstract :
This paper describes the antenna systems and equipments utilized in providing ICAO Category I, II, and III performance for the Instrument Landing System (ILS). The latest configurations for localizer, glide slope and markers are discussed. A mathematical model employing physical optics techniques and computers for calculating glide slope course bends is also discussed.
