TACAN has 126 X and 126 Y channels. Normally only X channels
|

|
|
are used, unless crowded. TACAN frequencies are tied to VOR
|
|||
|
|
frequencies. (Note: there are more TACAN frequencies than
|
|||
|
|
VOR frequencies, some are blanked around the ATCRBS Beacon
|
|||
|
|
frequencies, and others are for expansion and military use).
|
|||
|
|
Pulse width is 3.5 microseconds. Aircraft sounds like a Top
|
|||
|
|
Fuel Dragster or Funny Car when searching for lock-on.

1030 MHz Ground Interrogations to Transponder
|
|||
|
|
1090 MHz Aircraft Transponder Replies to Ground
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There are currently five interrogation modes in use:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Mode 1, 2 pulses spaced 3 microseconds [Military]
|
|||
|
|
Mode 2, 2 pulses spaced 5 microseconds [Military]
|
|||
|
|
Mode 3/A, 2 pulses spaced 8 microseconds [Military/Civilian]
|
|||
|
|
Mode 4, Encrypted, IFF [Military]
|
|||
|
|
Mode C, 2 pulses spaced 21 microseconds [Military/Civilian]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A third pulse is also included in all modes (except 4) at
|
|||
|
|
2 microseconds from the first. This is the sidelobe pulse.
|
|||
|
|
if it's within @6 dB of the first pulse (or greater) the
|
|||
|
|
transponder doesn't reply (as it has detected an antenna
|
|||
|
|
sidelobe). Pulse widths are .8 microseconds.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The reply is two framing pulses spaced 20.3 microseconds apart,
|
|||
|
|
with 13 code pulses (0000 - 7777 Octal) and an X pulse at the
|
|||
|
|
center which is not used anymore). A fourth pulse (called SPI
|
|||
|
|
pulse (Special Position Identifier) is used to identify your
|
|||
|
|
position when asked by a controller to "Squawk Ident", it is
|
|||
|
|
4.35 microseconds after the last framing pulse and lasts for
|
|||
|
|
20 seconds (about 2 scans of a long range radar). Pulse widths
|
|||
|
|
are .45 microseconds.
