The IFR 6000 is a precision simulator that enables one person to functionality test airborne transponder (XPDR) modes A/C/S, distance measuring equipment (DME) systems, TCAS I and II and ADS-B equipped transponders and 1090 MHz emitters. The Test Set contains built-in signal generators and modulators for XPDR and selected DME frequencies. For ramp operation, the RF output is coupled to the airborne equipment by a lightweight directional antenna that may be mounted on the Test Set or tripod. For bench operation, coaxial cables are required between the Test Set and UUT.

1.3 REGULATORY RESPONSIBILITIES Effective April 6, 1987, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has required certain tests be performed on transponders, both conventional ATCRBS and Mode S. In preparation for the installation of new air traffic control radar facilities, the FAA required new measurements to be performed on existing transponders and instituted required tests for Mode S transponders. FAR (Federal Aviation Regulations) Part 43, Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Rebuilding and Alteration section has been modified to reflect current technologies and improvements. Aeroflex has met all FAA requirements and recommends that the user of this type of equipment review the appropriate FAR, or contact the manufacturer of their particular model of transponder to ensure that proper procedures are followed. Eurocontrol and the JAA have also incorporated new regulations for Mode S Elementary and Enhanced Surveillance. These requirements include Selective Identifiers for high-density traffic areas and became mandatory in May, 2003 for Elementary Surveillance and March, 2005 for Enhanced Surveillance. The IFR 6000 has the capability to thoroughly test these new functions to comply with upcoming requirements. For further information regarding these requirements, visit www.eurocontrol.int/.

SECTION 2 - OPERATION
1.
1.1
INST ALLATION
GENERAL 1.4 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The IFR 6000 is powered by an internal Lithium Ion battery pack. The Test Set is supplied with an external DC Power Supply that enables the operator to recharge the battery when connected to AC power. NOTE: The IFR 6000 can operate continuously on AC power via the DC Power Supply, for servicing and/or bench tests.
The following safety precautions must be observed during installation and operation. Aeroflex assumes no liability for failure to comply with any safety precaution outlined in this manual. 1.4.1 Complying with Instructions
Refer to 1-2-2, Figure 2 for location of controls, connectors or indicators. 1.2 BATTERY OPERATION
Installation/operating personnel should not attempt to install or operate the IFR 6000 without reading and complying with instructions contained in this manual. All procedures contained in this manual must be performed in exact sequence and manner described. 1.4.2 Grounding Power Cord DO NOT USE A THREE-PRONG TO TWO-PRONG ADAPTER PLUG. DOING SO CREATES A SHOCK HAZARD BETWEEN THE CHASSIS AND ELECTRICAL GROUND.
The internal battery is equipped to power the IFR 6000 for six hours of continuous use, after which time, the IFR 6000 battery needs recharging. Battery Operation Time Remaining (in Hours) is displayed on all screens. The IFR 6000 contains an automatic time-out to conserve power. If a key is not pressed within a 5 to 20 minute time period, the Test Set shuts Off (only when using battery power). The Power Down Time may be set in the Setup Screen. 1.3 BATTERY CHARGING
WARNING:
The battery charger operates whenever DC power (11 to 32 Vdc) is applied to the Test Set with the supplied DC Power Supply or a suitable DC power source. When charging, the battery reaches a 100% charge in approximately four hours. The internal battery charger allows the battery to charge between a temperature range of 5 to 40C. The IFR 6000 can operate, connected to an external DC source, outside the battery charging temperature range (5 to 40C). The battery should be charged every three months (minimum) or disconnected for long term inactive storage periods of more than six months. The Battery must be removed wh e n c o n d i t i o n s s u r r o u n d i n g t h e Te s t S e t a r e <-20C or >60C.
For AC operation, the AC Line Cable, connected to the DC Power Supply, is equipped with standard three-prong plug and must be connected to a properly grounded three-prong receptacle that is easily accessible. It is the customer's responsibility to: Have a qualified electrician check receptacle(s) for proper grounding. Replace any standard two-prong receptacle(s) with properly grounded threeprong receptacle(s). Operating Safety
1.4.3
Due to potential for electrical shock within the Test Set, the Case Assembly must be closed when the Test Set is connected to an external power source. Battery replacement, fuse replacement and internal adjustments must only be performed by qualified service technicians.
1-2-1 Page 1 Dec 1/09

1.5 AC POWER REQUIREMENTS 1.6 BATTERY RECHARGING
The DC Power Supply, supplied with the IFR 6000, operates over a voltage range of 100 to 250 VAC at 47 to 63 Hz. The battery charger operates whenever DC power (11 to 32 Vdc) is applied to the Test Set with the supplied DC Power Supply or a suitable DC power source. When charging, the battery reaches an 100% charge in approximately four hours. The Battery Charging temperature range is 5 to 40C, controlled by an internal battery charger.

4.1 GENERAL This section contains operating instructions for the IFR 6000. The IFR 6000 tests ATCRBS/MODE S Transponders, DME, TCAS, ADS-B, TIS and TIS-B. The IFR 6000 replaces the IFR ATC-600A, ATC-601 and TCAS-201. General procedures identify the controls, connectors, indicators and display screens used in individual test modes. For specific Unit Under Test (UUT) Procedures, refer to the UUT Manual. Refer to 1-2-2, Figure 2 for location of controls, connectors and indicators. The IFR 6000 Test Set provides ATCRBS/Mode S Transponder and DME Test capability as standard modes. Software options available are: TCAS I, II, TIS (Traffic Information Service) and TIS-B (Traffic Information Service Broadcast). ADS-B (DO-260/A) and GICB extracted DAPs (Downlinked Aircraft Parameters). ADS-B provides flight line test capability for receiving, decoding and displaying full DO260/A DF17 extended squitter transmissions from Mode S transponders or DF18 extended squitters from 1090 MHz emitters. Capability to generate full DO-260/A DF17/18 extended squitter transmissions for testing ADS-B receivers is provided. A GICB mode decodes and displays all Enhanced Surveillance BDS register contents. NOTE: NOTE: ADS-B operates as an XPDR submode. NUCp (DO-260) is not supported. NIC/NAC/SIL (DO-260/A) is supported.
DME MODE DME Mode provides flight line test capability for Distance Measuring Equipment Interrogators. All parameters normally required for DME testing are displayed on one main screen. UUT interrogation parameters are clearly displayed in conjunction with Test Set reply parameters. TCAS MODE TCAS Mode provides flight line test capability for TCAS I and II. ATCRBS and Mode S intruders are simulated, allowing the generation of proximity, TA and RA flight deck annunciations. TCAS Interrogator parametric measurements are displayed. TIS Provides a five aircraft static flight simulation, using the Comm A protocol, to test the TIS (Traffic Information Service). TIS-B provides a five aircraft static flight simulation, using DF18 extended squitter broadcasts, for testing TIS-B (Traffic Information Service Broadcast) systems. NOTE: NOTE: TIS and TIS-B operate as TCAS sub modes. TIS-B is not provided in the second release of the TCAS option.
The IFR 6000 uses four functional modes: XPDR MODE XPDR Mode provides flight line test capability for ATCRBS and Mode S transponders using an Auto Test, a series of tests displayed over several screens. All data normally required to verify transponder operation in accordance with FAR 91.413, Part 43, Appendix F, is displayed on one main Auto Test Screen. Different classes of transponders are tested to built-in test limits by selection of configuration files. If the class of transponder is unknown, generic configuration files are provided for ATCRBS and Mode S transponders that apply the widest system limits. Mode S Transponder level is automatically determined. European Enhanced Surveillance test capability allows decode and display of GICB derived BDS register contents (primary parameters only).
SETUP MODE SETUP Mode function sets various parameters used in testing, configuration and memory storage for each functional mode.

STEP PROCEDURE ANT CABLE: Selections USER DEFINED, 1 FT, 6 FT, 25 FT, 50 FT, 60 FT. When USER DEFINED selected, cable loss may be manually entered by the user in ANT CABLE LOSS field. When 1, 6, 25, 50 or 60 feet is selected, ANT CABLE LOSS field is automatically calculated. ANT CABLE selection of 1, 6, 25, 50 or 60 feet results in 0, 0, 68, 138 and 184 ns of delay. ANT CABLE LOSS: Displays antenna cable loss in dB (at 1090 MHZ). If user defined, normally this is set once, figure marked on supplied RF coaxial cable NOTE: Cable loss range 0.0 to 9.9 dB. STEP PWR LIM: FAR 43 OR MOD43. FAR 43 uses limits in accordance with FAR 91.413, Part 43, Appendix F. MOD 43 removes upper ERP limits and lower MTL limits. CHECK CAP: YES or NO. If YES (default) is selected, BDS 1,7/1,8/1,9 is verified to confirm availability of: BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS 0,5 0,6 0,7 0,8 0,9 1,D 1,E 1,F 2,0 2,1 3,0 4,0 4,1 4,2 4,3 5,0 6,0 6,1 6,2 6,3 PROCEDURE
If preset length 1, 6, 25, 50 or 60 feet is selected, then cable loss in dB is automatically calculated and displayed. NOTE: Based on Aeroflex supplied cables, (25 and 50 foot cables optional) 25 and 50 foot cable selection compensates for delay of Aeroflex optional cables.
NOTE:
ANT GAIN: Entered in dBi, gain figures for 1030 and 1090 MHz marked on supplied Directional Antenna. NOTE: Antenna gain range 0.0 to 20.9 dB.
If BDS 1,7/1,8/1,9 reports a particular BDS is not available, the data is blanked alongside the respective BDS in the Enhanced Surveillance Screen, or GICB screens. If NO is selected, BDS 1,7/1,8/1,9 is not verified and the Test Set will extract the BDS and display content. NOTE: Some transponders reply to BDS requests even though BDS 1,7/1,8/1,9 reports they are not available.
ANT RANGE: Test Set Antenna to transponder antenna horizontal range. Enter parameters for BOTTOM and TOP antenna if installation has diversity capability. NOTE: Antenna Range is 6 to 250 ft or 2.0 to 75.0 m. UNITS parameter on SETUP-GENERAL Screen determines feet or meters (1-2-4, Figure 11).
1-2-4 Page 4 Dec 1/09
STEP PROCEDURE UUT ADDRESS: MANUAL or AUTO (defaults to AUTO on power-up). AUTO selection Mode S address is obtained via ATCRBS/Mode S All Call (FAR Part 43, Appendix F approved method). On loss of ATCRBS/Mode S All Call reply (i.e., UUT placed in ground state) tests already running continue to use last ATCRBS/ Mode S All Call obtained address. AUTO uses manually entered address if no reply is received. NOTE: ICAO amendment 77 transponders only replies to Mode S discrete interrogations when installation is in ground state. STEP PROCEDURE
Software Update Procedure Via USB: 1. Software must be loaded onto a FAT 16 USB Flash Memory stick. Software updates may be downloaded from product data section on the www.aeroflex.com website. Note: only one version of software may reside on the root directory of the Flash Memory stick.

1-2-4 Page 13 Dec 1/09
Measures, verifies and displays MTL for top and bottom antennas, for ATCRBS, ATCRBS All-Call and Mode S (P6) interrogation types in dBm. Top or Bottom antenna measurement is selected with DATA Keys. Top and Bottom measurements are averaged and values are displayed (1-2-4, Figure 13). NOTE: When an ATCRBS configuration is selected (non diversity transponder) only the Bottom antenna measurement fields are used. NOTE: ERP and MTL Upper limits specified in selected configuration file are not applied during radiated test. The configuration file upper limits are in accordance with RTCA-DO181C, which are based on maximum feeder cable loss of 3 dB and measurement at the antenna port. ERP and MTL Upper limits are only applied when directly connected to UUT or end of feeder cable. In practice, many installations have feeder losses of 1 dB (minimum feeder loss) and antennas that exhibit gain.
Frequency When a Mode S configuration is selected, the Test Set interrogates with UF4, +6 dB above MTL, verifying a DF4 reply is received. With an ATCRBS configuration selected, the Test Set interrogates with Mode A, (or Mode C if no reply is received to a Mode A), +6 dB above MTL. Test averages Frequency measurement over 40 replies. The value is updated every 40 replies. PASS/FAIL limits are applied. NOTE: Frequency PASS/FAIL limits are determined by selected configuration. Refer to Appendix F.
MTL (Minimum Trigger Level) When a Mode S configuration is selected the Test Set interrogates in sequence with UF4, Mode A (or Mode C if no reply is received to a Mode A) and an ATCRBS/Mode S All-Call, verifying MTL for each interrogation type. When an ATCRBS configuration is selected the Test Set interrogates with Mode A (or Mode C if no reply is received to a Mode A) and an ATCRBS/Mode S All-Call, verifying MTL for each interrogation type. To determine MTL the test adjusts RF interrogation level for 90% replies. Two values for each measurement are displayed. INSTANT values are obtained from the MTL readings. The 50% reply point is determined by sending 100 interrogations. The 90% reply point is calculated from the 50% reply point. TOP and BOTTOM values are obtained from the average MTL readings of all replies received during the MTL Test sequence. PASS/FAIL limits are applied. NOTE: MTL PASS/FAIL limits are determined by the selected configuration. Refer to Appendix F.
ERP (Effective Radiated Power) When a Mode S configuration is selected, the Test Set interrogates with UF4, +6 dB above MTL, verifying a DF4 reply is received. When an ATCRBS configuration is selected, the Test Set interrogates with Mode A (or Mode C if no reply is received to a Mode A) +6 dB above MTL. When the (peak) ERP is measured, two values for each measurement are displayed. INSTANT values are obtained from the average power measurement over five replies and updated every five replies. TOP and BOTTOM values are obtained from the average power measurement over 40 replies. PASS/FAIL limits are applied and updated every 40 replies. NOTE: ERP PASS/FAIL limits are determined by selected configuration. Refer to Appendix F.
A-C Difference The Test Set interrogates with Mode A (or Mode C if no reply is received to a Mode A), verifying MTL for each interrogation type. The test compares MTL measurements between Mode A and C. PASS is displayed when difference is <1 dB. FAIL is displayed when difference is >1 dB.

4.5 TCAS The IFR 6000 fully tests ATCRBS and Mode S, ACAS, TCAS I and II (Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance System). The test set simulates an Intruder Aircraft converging on the position of the TCAS UUT. By manually defining a scenario or utilizing the factory default scenarios in test set memory, the Test Set operator can verify the correct TAs (Traffic Advisory) and RAs (Resolution Advisory) have occurred on the TCAS display. The IFR 6000 is used with the directional antenna attached, allowing the user to move the test set to different locations and headings from the Aircraft UUT. 4.5.1 TCAS OPERATION CONCEPT
TCAS is a system which provides situational awareness of the surrounding airspace of an aircraft to the pilot and crew. TCAS establishes a volume of airspace around the aircraft based upon range, speed and altitude. Refer to 1-2-4, Figure 33. By working in-conjunction with the aircraft Transponder system, TCAS can determine the relative threat of an aircraft and issue visual and audible advisories to assist the crew in taking action that prevents a collision. Refer to 1-2-4, Table 3.

Non-Threat Traffic: An open white diamond indicates that an intruders relative altitude is 1200 ft vertically or distance is beyond 6 nm range and not yet considered a threat. Proximity Intruder Traffic: A filled white diamond indicates that the intruding aircraft is 1200 ft vertically and within 6 nm range, and still not considered a threat. Traffic Advisory: A symbol change to a filled yellow circle indicates that the intruding aircraft is considered to be potentially hazardous. Depending on altitude TCAS II displays a TA when the time to CPA is between 20 and 48 sec.
Resolution Advisory: A solid red square indicates that the intruding aircraft is projected to be a collision threat. TCAS II calculates that the intruder has reached the point where a Resolution Advisory is necessary. The time to closest approach with the intruder is now between 15 and 35 sec depending on altitude. The symbol appears together with an appropriate audio warning and a vertical maneuver indication on the RA/VSI.

4.6 ADS-B GENERAL Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) is a technology where aircraft avionics broadcasts the aircraft position, altitude, velocity and other parameters completely autonomously. The system is automatic because the pilot is not involved in initiating broadcasts. The service is dependent on the aircraft position determination system. The application is surveillance, both airground and air-air. When ADS-B is used, aircraft and other vehicles continuously broadcast a message including position, heading, velocity and intent. Other uses may include obstacles transmitting a position message. Aircraft, ground-based stations and other users monitoring the channels can receive the information and use it in a wide variety of applications. Because of this potential for broad utilization, a system using ADS-B is most often discussed as a replacement for or an augmentation to current methods of monitoring aeronautical traffic. To understand the full capability of ADS-B, consider how the current Air Traffic Control system creates information. The radar measures the range and bearing of an aircraft. Bearing is measured by the position of the rotating radar antenna when it receives a response to its interrogation from the aircraft, and range is measured by the time it takes for the radar to receive the interrogation response. The antenna beam becomes wider as the aircraft get farther away, making the position information less accurate. Additionally, detecting changes in aircraft velocity requires several radar sweeps that are spaced several seconds apart. In contrast, a system using ADS-B creates and listens for periodic position and intent reports from aircraft. These reports are generated and distributed using precise instruments, such as the global positioning system (GPS) and Mode S transponders, meaning integrity of the data is no longer susceptible to the range of the aircraft or the length of time between radar sweeps. The enhanced accuracy of the information will be used to improve safety, support a wide variety of applications and increase airport and airspace capacity. 4.6.1 ADS-B/GICB MODES
The IFR 6000 provides flight line test capability for receiving (ADS-B MON mode), decoding and displaying full ADS-B DO-260/A DF17/DF18 extended squitter transmissions from Mode S transponders or DF18 extended squitters from 1090 MHz emitters. Capability to generate (ADS-B GEN mode) full DO-260/A DF17/DF18 extended squitter transmissions for testing ADS-B receivers is provided. A GICB mode fully decodes and displays all Enhanced Surveillance BDS register contents. The ADS-B/GICB is a Sub-Mode of XPDR Mode. 4.6.2 ADS-B SETUP
The SETUP-ADS-B screen is accessed by pressing the ADS-B SETUP Soft Key on the SETUP-XPDR screen. The SETUP-ADS-B screen allows the setting of operational parameters for the ADS-B/GICB functional Mode.

GICB (Ground Intiated Comm B) is a protocol used by Mode S ground stations to extract DAPs (Downlinked Aircraft Parameters) from Mode S transponder equipped aircraft. DAPs are utilized by Air Traffic Control equipment, to provide the air traffic controller with accurate and predictive tracks i.e. anticipated altitude changes. DAPS are obtained from various sub-systems via a separate or transponder integral ADLP (Air Data Link Processor). DAPs are stored in the transponder BDS (B-Definition Subfield) registers. There are 255 BDS registers, not all defined at this time. 4.6.7 GICB MODE

4.7 TIS GENERAL DESCRIPTION Primarily a U.S. deployed system, the Traffic Information Service (TIS) data link provides automatic display of nearby traffic and warns the pilot of potentially threatening traffic conditions. Using the Mode-S data link, a TIS ground processor uplinks surveillance information generated by Mode S sensors to equipped aircraft. The aircraft TIS processor receives the data and displays the data on the TIS display, providing increased situational awareness and an enhanced seeand-avoid capability for pilots. TIS data is obtained from the ground Mode S sensor that acquires and maintains aircraft tracks within its coverage area. TIS can only provide traffic information to aircraft equipped with Mode S, although the system acquires and maintains track information on all aircraft equipped with an ATC Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS). TIS can also integrate primary radar coverage to maintain tracks of non-transponder equipped aircraft. Because it is available to all Mode S transponders, TIS is inexpensive and its availability makes collision avoidance technology more accessible to the pricesensitive general aviation community. TIS software and Mode S sensors are fielded at a number of terminals nationwide (U.S.) Terminal Mode S installations currently provide 60 nautical mile coverage, including a 5-mile buffer required for TIS coverage. A Mode S equipped aircraft requests TIS data via a downlink message at 1090 MHz. The ground station sends TIS data to the aircraft via a datalink that operates at 1030 MHz. Data formats for TIS are described in the Minimum Operational Performance Standards for Traffic Information Service (TIS) Data Link Communications RTCA DO-239. The TIS cockpit display provides at least 5 miles of display range and TIS encoding provides values up to seven miles in 1/8-mile intervals. Relative altitudes from 3,000 to +3,500 feet are also accommodated. 4.7.1 TIS MODE
Press the TCAS mode key twice to display the TIS screen (1-2-4 figure 103). 4.7.2 TIS SETUP

Setup TIS Screen Figure 108 STEP 1. 2. PROCEDURE Press SETUP Soft Key to display SETUP TIS Screen (1-2-4, Figure 103). Set the parameters by pressing NEXT PARAM. Press PREV PARAM to select the field. Use DATA Keys to slew the data. Parameters are: RF PORT: Selects ANTENNA (ANT CONNECTOR) or DIRECT CONNECT via RF I/O Connector. DIRECT CABLE LOSS: Entered in dB, figure (at 1090 MHz) marked on supplied RF coaxial cable. NOTE: Cable loss range 0.0 to 9.9 dB.
1-2-4 Page 99 Dec 1/09
STEP PROCEDURE ANT CABLE: Selections USER DEFINED, 1 FT, 6 FT, 25 FT, 50 FT, 60 FT. When USER DEFINED selected, cable loss may be manually entered by the user in ANT CABLE LOSS field. When 1, 6, 25, 50 or 60 feet is selected, ANT CABLE LOSS field is automatically calculated. ANT CABLE selection of 1, 6, 25, 50 or 60 feet results in 0, 0, 68, 138 and 184 ns of delay. ANT CABLE LOSS: Displays antenna cable loss in dB (at 1090 MHZ). If user defined, normally this is set once, figure marked on supplied RF coaxial cable NOTE: Cable loss range 0.0 to 9.9 dB. STEP PROCEDURE ANT HEIGHT: Test Set Antenna Range to transponder antenna height difference (1 to 99). NOTE: UNITS parameter determines feet or meters (1-2-4, Figure 11).
UUT ADDRESS: MANUAL or AUTO (defaults to AUTO on power-up). AUTO selection Mode S address is obtained via ATCRBS/Mode S All Call (FAR Part 43, Appendix F approved method). On loss of ATCRBS/Mode S All Call reply (i.e., UUT placed in ground state) tests already running continue to use last ATCRBS/ Mode S All Call obtained address. AUTO uses manually entered address if no reply is received. NOTE: ICAO amendment 77 transponders only replies to Mode S discrete interrogations when installation is in ground state.
If preset length 1, 6, 25, 50 or 60 feet is selected, then cable loss in dB is automatically calculated and displayed. NOTE: Based on Aeroflex supplied cables, (25 and 50 foot cables optional) 25 and 50 foot cable selection compensates for delay of Aeroflex optional cables.
NOTE:
MANUAL ADDRESS: A six digit HEX address is entered if UUT ADDRESS: MANUAL is selected.
ANT GAIN: Entered in dBi, gain figures for 1030 and 1090 MHz marked on supplied Directional Antenna. NOTE: Cable loss range 0.0 to 20.9 dB.
ANT RANGE: Test Set Antenna to transponder antenna horizontal range (6 to 250). Enter parameters for BOTTOM and TOP antenna if installation has diversity capability. NOTE: UNITS parameter determines feet or meters (1-2-4, Figure 11).

4.7 DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA USE The Directional Antenna is used three ways.
Directional Antenna Mounted on Test Set Figure 112 Tripod Mounted Directional Antenna Figure 114
Mount Directional Antenna on friction hinge and connect Directional Antenna ANT Connector to Test Set ANT Connector via 12 in coaxial cable (1-2-4, Figure 107).
Connect Directional Antenna ANT Connector to Test Set ANT Connector via 72 in coaxial cable. Mount Directional Antenna on tripod and point at UUT antenna (1-2-4, Figure 109). XPDR: XPDR antennas are top and bottom mounted on airframe. Verify which antenna(s) is transponder antenna(s) as the DME antenna(s) look similar. Position Directional Antenna in direct sight of UUT antenna, avoiding close obstructions (such as gantries, ladders and tool chests etc.), to minimize multi-path reflections which cause random test failures.
Hand Held Directional Antenna Figure 113
Distance for testing top UUT antenna should be sufficient so UUT antenna is visible (1-2-4, Figures 110 and 111). Shield with Antenna Shield (Appendix J) or disconnect and terminate UUT Antenna not being tested. Deactivate other area transponders or position transponders at least three times the XPDR Setup Menu Range from Directional Antenna.
Connect Directional Antenna ANT Connector to Test Set ANT Connector via 72 in coaxial cable. Point Directional Antenna at UUT antenna (1-2-4, Figure 108).
1-2-4 Page 103 Dec 1/09
Procedure to Avoid False TCAS RAs on Overflying Aircraft or Altitude: If the aircraft barometric system is at altitude, shield UUT Antenna being tested with Antenna Shield (Appendix J). Shield with another Antenna Shield or disconnect and terminate UUT Antenna(s) not being tested. Deactivate other area transponders or position transponder >50 ft (15.24 m) from the Directional Antenna. Position Directional Antenna 20 ft (6.1 m) from UUT Antenna being tested. DME: DME Antennas are bottom mounted on airframe. Verify which antenna(s) is DME Antenna(s) as the transponder lower antenna(s) look similar. Position Directional Antenna in direct sight of UUT antenna, avoiding close obstructions (such as gantries, ladders and tool chests etc.), to minimize multipath reflections which cause random test failures. Usual distance from UUT antenna is approximately 10 to 20 feet. NOTE: Directional Antenna should not be positioned closer than 6 feet, to ensure that the antenna far field is tested Mode S Coverage Within 12 nmi Simulated Range Figure 115
Refer to 1-2-4, Figure 110. Due to high power density reduction in some TCAS interrogators, Mode S effective coverage distance may be dependent on the Test Set simulated range. For those units place Test Set according to 1-2-4, Figure 111. For simulated ranges within 1 nm, position test set within 30 ft (9.0 m) of UUT antenna.
TCAS: Most TCAS installations have top and bottom directional antennas. Some aircraft are fitted with an omni-directional bottom antenna. Follow Avoid False TCAS RAs on Overflying Aircraft or Altitude procedure. Position the Test Set Directional Antenna in direct sight of UUT antenna. To minimize intruder bearing error, Test Set antenna should be at the same height as the UUT antenna. Refer to 1-2-4, Figure 105 to ensure Test Set Directional Antenna is within effective coverage area for either ATCRBS or Mode S. Avoid close obstructions (such as gantries, ladders and tool chests) to minimize multipath reflections which cause erroneous intruder bearings. Testing in aircraft hangers may result in erratic bearing of simulated intruder. Changing bearing may result in a more reliable track. When testing top antenna in a hanger use a gantry at the same height as the top antenna.

APPENDIX I - SIGNAL FORMATS

1. OPERAT ING G OAL S
Mode S combines secondary surveillance radar and a ground-air-ground data link system to provide aircraft surveillance and communications necessary for supporting automated ATC in dense traffic environments. Mode S provides common-channel interoperation with the ATC beacon system and may be implemented over an extended ATCRBS-to-Mode S transition period. In supporting ATC automation, Mode S provides the reliable communications necessary for data link services. 2.3 DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS The discrete addressing and digital encoding allow Mode S transmissions to be used as digital data links. Interrogation and reply formats of the Mode S system contain sufficient coding space to transmit data. Most Mode S data link transmissions are handled as one 56-bit message included as part of long 112-bit interrogations or replies. The transmissions include the message in addition to surveillance data, and is generally used in place of a surveillance interrogation and/or reply. An efficient transmission of longer messages is accomplished by the extended length message (ELM) capability (UF24 and DF24). Using this capability, a sequence of up to sixteen 80-bit message segments (each with a 112-bit transmission) is transmitted, either ground-to-air or air-to-ground and is acknowledged with a single reply/interrogation. ELMs do not contain surveillance data and thus cannot substitute for a surveillance interrogation-reply cycle.
2. MO DE S MESSAG E CO NT ENT
2.1 ADDRESS/PARITY (FIELD AP) All discrete Mode S interrogations (56-bit or 112-bit) and replies (except the All Call reply) contain the 24-bit discrete address of the Mode S transponder upon which 24 errordetecting parity check bits are overlaid. In the All Call reply, the 24 parity check bits are overlaid on the address of the Mode S interrogator. The text of the reply includes the discrete address of the transponder. 2.2 SURVEILLANCE The primary function of Mode S is surveillance. For the Mode S transponder, this function is accomplished by using short (56-bit) transmissions in both directions. In these transmissions, the aircraft reports altitude (DF04) or ATCRBS 4096 code as well as flight status (airborne, on the ground, alert, Special Position Identification [SPI], etc.).
3. SIGNAL FORMATS
Signal formats for uplink and downlink messages are outlined in Chapter 2, RTCA DO181 and Chapter 2, Volume I of RTCA DO-185. Tables 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in Appendix B contain the signal formats and definitions. Data is expressed in decimal unless otherwise specified. Refer to Appendix B, Table 6 for conversion to hexadecimal, octal or binary. Appendix B, Table 7 shows the ATC-601-2 fixed formats for Mode S using Front Panel operation. NOTE: TCAS operates in Mode S and many signals pertain only to TCAS.
