NAS EN ROUTE STAGE A, MODEL 1b, TEST AND EVALUATION OF THE PRE-PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT AN/FYQ-47.

Abstract

The AN/FYQ-47 (Production Common Digitizer) (PCD) is an integrated circuit simplex model designed to derive aircraft positional information from FAA/USAF primary and secondary radar and beacon inputs. Beacon code replies for Mode 3/A (identify), Mode 2 (military identity), and Mode C (altitude) are processed and reported in a digital message with associated positional information. At joint-use sites, the PCD also performs functions related to the USAF semi-automatic height finder process and handles information received from USAF gap filler radars. The major non-military inputs to the PCD are as follows: radar and beacon videos, radar and beacon pre-triggers, and reference and azimuth change pulses (ACP's) generated at the radar antenna.
