Trasmission
Tx ground 1030 MHz interrogator
Tx a/c 1090 MHz
trasponder
phase
Ground send interrogator pulse
A/C transponder recieve decode the interrogation
AC transponder decode and trasmit the response
Ground Rx receive and decode the Response
Mode A
3 Pulse P1 P2 P3 the interval between P1 and P3 is 8 microsecond 4096 possible codes from 0000 to 7777 if ident press an other pulse is present
Mode C
time interval between P1 and P3 21 microsecond
if ident press an other pulse is present
error
garbling
fruiting
antenna shielding
garbling
2 A/C close together and separate of less than 1,7 NM reply together at the same interrogation give back a 2 response overlap
fruiting
false reply unsyncronized with interrogation trasmission
response is given to an other Inttergator station
antenna shielding
during a turn the antenna is hide
mode S ground
it is compatible with the other mode
MODE S
16 * 10^6 possible codes
24 bit permanent allocate to single A/C with country and A/C
MODE S advantage
more accurate altitude 25' immune to garbling error detection automatic antenna selection datalink facility(up to 112 bit in each signal) couple with ground data network msg can be sent over horizion
MODE S ELS elementary surveilance
call sign transponder capability altitude with 25' intervall flight status surveillance identifier SI code compatibility
MODE S EHS enhanced surveilance
ELS + downlinked A/C Parameters( selective altitude/ roll angle/ true track)
