1.4 Features
In order to operate the Mode-S transponder it is necessary
to request an ICAO 24-Bit Aircraft Address at the
responsible national aviation authorities. The received Code
is assigned to the specific transponder/aircraft and must be
configured within the transponder. The 24bit Address is
stored in an external memory which allows the transponder
being exchanged without requiring any further configuration.
(for detailed information refer to sections 4.1.2 and 4.2.1).
•Class 1 Level 2es Non-Diversity Mode-S-Transponder for ground
based interrogations at 1030 MHz and response at 1090 MHz
•Replies to (Secondary) Radar Interrogations
oMode-A replies with a Squawk (one of 4096 possible Codes;
e.g. flight plan number, Squawk assigned by a Controller or
the VFR Squawk 7000)
oMode C replies, including encoded flight level
oMode S replies, including aircraft address and flight level
oExtended Squitter, containing additional information on
position and velocity
•IDENT capability for activating the Special Position Identification“-
Pulse (SPI) for 18 seconds, which is requested by the Controller
„Squawk Ident“
•Maximum flight level 35 000 ft; maximum airspeed 250 kt
•Display information contains Squawk code, mode of operation and
pressure altitude.
•Temperature compensated high precision piezo-resistive pressure
sensor
•RS-232 I/O data port enabling connection with certain GPS-
Receivers in order to support ADS-B Out
•8 storable entries for AA-/AC-Code, FID, Ground-Switch, RI-Code
and GPS-/Interface-setting (stored in external memory TRT800EM)
