Development and Evaluation of Selective Address Beacon (SAB) System.

摘要

This report presents the results of the development and evaluation of a selective address beacon system intended to reduce or eliminate synchronous garble in dense airspace. Two concepts are developed and evaluated, depending on the expected application of SAB as either an interim or long-term solution of the synchronous garble problem. The degree of improvement expected from each concept is evaluated and the communications reliability is analyzed. Avionics designs supporting the concepts are developed and avionics cost estimated for the air carrier and general aviation classes of aircraft. (Author)
