STUDY OF ATCRBS DATA TRANSFER OVER EXISTING FAA RML EQUIPMENT.
Abstract
The purpose of this study program is to furnish FAA evaluating engineers with data relative to the Beacon Video Channel performance of FAA RML4 Radar Microwave Link systems. Accordingly, a test system consisting of RML-4 terminal and repeater equipment was assembled and evaluated. The test methods, equipment used, and the acquired data are contained in this report. Detailed beacon video channel performance data are presented herein with particular emphasis on the performance characteristics when the system is loaded with pulse trains corresponding to 4096 beaon Codes. In addition, these tests were made under simulated in the field conditions such that the acquired data would represent practical system performance rather than performance in a laboratory environment. A brief investigation was also performed to evaluate the system video performance as a function of microwave frequency drift. (Author)
