Abstract

Various photo receiver schemes are estimated for a precision altimeter. Precise altitude measurements over the runway are called for thrust reversal optimization. The optoelectronic altimeter offered can be applied either on a VTOL aircraft of the 5-th generation, or on a shipboard helicopter landing on pitching and rolling carrier. Some variants are analyzed for automatic gain control and photo receiver schemes. Noise level estimated for the system considered.
