Aircraft Reply and Interference Environment Simulator (ARIES) Hardware Principles of Operation. Volume 2. Appendixes

Abstract

The Aircraft Reply and Interference Environment Simulator (ARIES) makes possible the performance assessment of the Mode Select (Mode S) sensor under its specific maximum aircraft load. To do this, ARIES operates upon disk files for traffic model and interference to generate simulated aircraft replies and fruit, feeding them to the sensor at radio frequency. Support documentation for ARIES consists of: ARIES Hardware Maintenance Manual: Volume I (DOT/FAA/CT- TN88/3); Appendixes of the Hardware Maintenance Manual: Volume II; ARIES hardware Principles of Operation: Volume I (DOT/FAA/CT-TN88/4); Appendixes of the Hardware Principles of Operation: Volume II; ARIES Software Principles of Operation (DOT/FAA/CT/-TN87/16); ARIES Software User's Manual (DOT/FAA/CT-TN88/ 15). The Appendixes to the Hardware Principles of Operation provides (1) the acronyms and abbreviations used within the document, (2) detailed information covering the development and implementation of controller microcode, and (3) Uplink Receiver digital alignment.
