Mode S installation and siting criteria
Abstract
Site associated phenomena that affect the proper operation of a Mode S sensor and therefore warrant serious consideration when siting a sensor are discussed. Siting criteria as they relate to the Mode S sensor antenna system, as opposed to the ATCRBS hogtrough antenna are considered, and those characteristics of the surrounding environment that are crucial to proper Mode S surveillance are addressed.
