Abstract

See full text

The present invention is directed to a Mode S uplink or interrogation signal demodulation system which can quickly recognize the Mode S signal and also filter out of noise present in the Mode S uplink or interrogation signal, thereby reducing the bit error rate. To realize this goal the present invention includes a digital differential phase-shift keyed demodulator to demodulate the differential phase-shift keyed data, thereby reducing the time needed to acquire the Mode S uplink or interrogation signal. This digital demodulator also reduces the noise present in the Mode S uplink or interrogation signal and provides an integrated system which is small in structure that can be easily implemented in an aircraft. This Mode S system also includes a preamble and sync phase reversal detection circuit to recognize if the transmitted signal is a Mode S signal. This signal also utilizes Mode A and Mode C detection devices to make the system compatible with present communication systems.
