Implementation of a recognition algorithm in a reconfigurable hardware using a FPGA circuit

The circuits presented in this paper are designed for students' use in the Radio Navigation and Traffic Control Systems (RNTCS) Laboratory. These circuits simulate the airborne part of the Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) to determine the aircraft position in the space. The digital part was implemented using a development system based on a FPGA circuit from Xilinx Company. This system was also designed in the RNTCS laboratory.
