Development of a Discrete Address Beacon System.

Abstract

Included 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 system design studies pertaining to: The impact of locating IPC computation at the DABS sensor; the effects of synchronizing ATCRBS sensors; the effects on DABS of incorporating Synchro-DABS scheduling and requirements imposed by netting DABS sensors. Concluding the report is a status report on the implementation of the Lincoln Laboratory DABS Experimental Facility and a review of plans to extend its role to that of experimental sensor capable of demonstrating DABS applications.
