Explanation
Sampling loops in each log periodic dipole (LPD) provide samples of the localizer radiated signals to the radio frequency (RF) combining network. These sampling loops are a crucial component of the system as they capture and measure the signals emitted by the localizer. By sampling the signals, the system can accurately determine the direction and position of an aircraft in relation to the localizer. The samples collected by the sampling loops are then fed into the RF combining network, where they are combined and processed to provide the necessary information for navigation and guidance.

Explanation
In a single-frequency localizer, the course width is maintained at 5.0° by tailoring the antenna power levels, a-spacing, and pair-to-pair phasing. This means that the power levels of the antennas are adjusted, the distance between the antennas (a-spacing) is optimized, and the phasing between pairs of antennas is adjusted. These adjustments ensure that the signals from the antennas combine in a way that creates a narrow course width of 5.0°, allowing for precise navigation along the desired course.

Correct Answer
B. .185.
Explanation
The question asks for the difference in depth of modulation (DDM) when the modulation difference is 18.5 percent. To convert the modulation difference to DDM, we divide the percentage by 100. Therefore, 18.5 percent is equal to 0.185.
44.
(203) Which localizer signal characteristic does not affect the difference in depth of modulation (DDM)?
Correct Answer
C. Station assigned frequency (SAF).
Explanation
The station assigned frequency (SAF) does not affect the difference in depth of modulation (DDM) for a localizer signal. DDM is determined by the amplitude of the sidebands and carrier, as well as the modulation and sideband and carrier phasing. SAF refers to the frequency assigned to the localizer station and is not directly related to the modulation characteristics of the signal. Therefore, it does not impact the DDM.
45.

46.
(203) Why are the localizer course and clearance transmitter's output frequencies separated by 9.5 kilohertz (kHz)?
Correct Answer
D. Prevent signal combining.
Explanation
The localizer course and clearance transmitter's output frequencies are separated by 9.5 kilohertz (kHz) to prevent signal combining.

(203) Which localizer output would result in a change in the capture points from facility reference?
Correct Answer
A. 12 watt (W) Course (CRS) Carrier plus sideband (CSB).
Explanation
The localizer output that would result in a change in the capture points from facility reference is the 12 watt (W) Course (CRS) Carrier plus sideband (CSB). This output provides a stronger signal with both the carrier and sideband, which would allow for a more accurate capture of the localizer signal. The other options either have a lower power output or do not include both the carrier and sideband, which would not provide the same level of accuracy for capturing the localizer signal.
