Abstract
This paper advances the concept of using slightly modified commercial ground broadcast TV signals to aid in tracking aircraft at low attitude near major airports. The modification of the TV signal is not major and will not affect normal TV operation. The resulting system should be of utility in augmenting air traffic control and could provide an important dual service role for commercial TV ground broadcast
