Notabl e Accid ents
N ew York Cit y, Dec. 16 , 1960
�
Unit ed Airlines DC-8 and a T W A Super Const ellationover N ew York Cit y kill ed 128 peopl e on board and 8 peopl e on t he ground. T he Unit ed flig ht had ex peri enc ed partial nav igation equipment failur e but fail ed to r eport it to t he air traffic controll ers.

Histor y Ti meline
� In W orld W ar-I Pilots began taking radios in planes . SoAirlines used radio to transmit weat her infor mation to pilots
� 1921 - Ar my d eployed rotating beacons in a line bet ween
Columbus and Day ton, OH
� 1935 - First air traffic control tower established at t he N ew ark Int ernational Airport in NJ
� W orld W ar II - Americans d eveloped IFF (Id entif y Fri end or Foe), installing transpond ers above Alli ed aircraft
� 1958 - F ed eral Av iation Ag enc y, c harg ed w it h establishing and running an air traffic control sy st em

ATCRBS � S y st em shar es t he same fr equenc y bands as IFF
� A sensor on t he ground sends out an int errogation signal
(1030 MHz) from a rotating ant enna(beacon) to aircraft
fl y ing in its sector
� Aircraft equipped w it h transpond ers r ec ei ve t hese
int errogations and send back a r epl y (1090 MHz)
� T her e ar e t w o pri mar y t y pes of int errogations
± Mod e A int errogations ar e used for plane id entification
infor mation
± Mod e C int errogations ar e used for altitud e infor mation

PRIMARY SURVIELLANCE
RADAR(PSR)� It is t he most prominent component of t he sy st em.
� It is r ef err ed as ³SKIN PAINT RADAR´ because it uses t he basic radar principl es for its operation.
� PSR sends radar energ y and r ec ei ves r efl ect ed
energ y from aircraft and find its position.

IFF (SSR)
� IFF- Id entif y ing Fri end Or Foe
� A ground-based transmitt er , t he int errogator ,
broadcasts a radio signal to t he aircraft
� A transpond er on t he aircraft w ould r ec ei ve and r epl y to t his signal
�Int errogations used ar e ver y specific t y pes of signals w it hin rang e1030 to1090 MHz
� If a plane did not r espond corr ectl y t he sy st em d et er mined t hat t he targ et w as an enemy aircraft

Transpond ers
� Transpond ers ar e mandat ed if aircraft fli esabove 10 ,000 f eet or w it hin 30 mil es of a major airport.
� Transpond er is usuall y mount ed in t he
instrument panel or av ionics rack.

How ever y t hing w orks?
� Pri mar y Sur veillanc e Radar (PSR) transmits radar
energ y whic h is d et ect ed by t he aircraft and it r efl ects radar energ y
� Aircraft r eturn is displayed on t he ATC consol e at a
rang e and bearing w it h aircraft position
� T he S econdar y Sur veillanc e Radar (SSR)transmits a seri es of int errogation pulses r ec ei ved by t he aircraft transpond er
� Transpond er r epli es w it h a diff er ent seri es of pulses t hat gi ves aircraft id entifi er and altitud e
� PSR and SSR ar e sy nc hroniz ed , bot h r eturns w ill

Probl ems w it h ATCRBS
� ATCRBS uses a rotating ant enna to continuousl y send out int errogations
� An aircraft can be int errogat ed up to 20 ti mes per sweep
�
Eac h ti me, t he transpond er sends back a separat e r epl y � Causes int erf er enc e and overload in t he 1030/1090 MHz
c hannels
� When int erf er enc e occurs t he ground station r ec ei ves
garbl ed signals� As traffic incr eases, t he number of airplanes at a gi ven
ti me w it hin t he ant enna's int errogation beam w ill incr ease

Mod e S
� In t he 1960's, t he Unit ed Stat es air traffic control (ATC) sy st em w as in disarray .
� Mod e S is now r eplacing ATCRBS in many countri es including US
� Discr et e Addr ess Beacon S y st em (DABS) lat er r enamed Mod e S
� S=S el ect: uses discr et e addr essing toint errogat e just one aircraft
� Is a S econdar y Sur veillanc e Radar (SSR)beacon
� Ground-air-ground data link sy st em

Mod e S Int eroperabilit y
� S everal specific d esign d ecisions t hat wer e influenc ed by int eroperabilit y :
± Fr equenc y - 1030/1090 MHz w as mad e so Mod e S and
ATCRBS could communicat e on t he same c hannel
± Modulation - c hosen partiall y to mini miz e t he eff ects of int erf er enc e due to shar ed fr equenc y c hannels
± Signal For mats - t he Mod e S signal itself had to be d esigned so t hat it w as transpar ent to ex isting transpond ers
