Development of a Discrete Address Beacon System.

Abstract

Included in the report are brief reviews of : DABS link design modulation and interference studies; transponder design-cost studies; ATCRBS transponder tests; transponder antenna/airframe pattern measurements; and sensor monopulse antenna-processor studies. Also included are the results of studies pertaining to: interrogation scheduling the rotating antenna equipped sensor; aircraft tracking/correlation at the sensor and at the SCP; protocol for extended length messages; use of DABS sensors in various system configurations; synchro-DABS scheduling constraints; and sensor netting and siting. Concluding the report is a status report on the implementation of the Lincoln Laboratory DABS Experimental Facility and a review of planned direction finding experiments. (Modified author abstract)
