(c)
Each reply pulse train consists of zero to 12 pulses within two framing pulses. When the IDENT button is pressed, an identification pulse follows the second framing pulse for several transmissions. The number of pulses in the pulse train is determined by the identification code selected on the control module for mode A or B replies or the presence or absence of altitude data from the Central Air Data System for mode C replies.
(2)
Receive
(a) The RF energy from the ATC antenna is filtered, unwanted signals are rejected, and the resulting signal is mixed with a local oscillator to produce an IF signal. The IF signal is sent through a decoder consisting of an amplifier and video detector. The decoder determines the validity of the interrogation. A mode trigger pulse is sent to the encoder for each valid interrogation signal. An automatic overload control circuit reduces the IF amplifier sensitivity if the number of reply pulses or external suppression pulses exceeds a preset level.
(3)
Transmit
(a)
The encoder receives the trigger from the decoder, generates the proper number of reply pulses and routes them to the modulator. The modulator develops a series of high voltage pulses for transmission by the ATC antenna.
(b)
The encoder generates a suppression trigger for each mode trigger pulse which disables the decoder during transmissions. The encoder also routes suppression pulses to the DME System (Ref 34-55-00). The DME System when transmitting sends suppression pulses to the ATC System. This prevents simultaneous transmissions from different L-band systems.
(4)
Monitor
(a) During normal operation, the transmitted output is sampled and applied to a monitor circuit. A reply or MONITOR light on the transponder comes on momentarily after four successive reply pulse trains. The light also comes on when the TEST button on the control module is pressed.

ATC SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
______________________________________
1. General_______(See figure 1.)
A. The air traffic control (ATC) system, when interrogated by a ground station, automatically transmits a pulse coded reply signal to the ground station. This reply signal is used to identify and locate airplane equipped with ATC equipment for air traffic control. The reply signal is used to display airplane range, bearing, altitude, and identity on the ground station radarscope.
