The C band pulse beacon ranging system: Collision avoidance

Abstract

THE YG‐1081 COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM (CWS) introduced by Honeywell Inc. operates on a cooperative basis with other aircraft with like equipment. The system is, in effect, a C‐band (5·08 GHz) pulse beacon ranging system. Each CWS serves both on interrogation and response function. There are three modes of operation: the interrogation mode, the response mode, and the system test mode.
