Pros and Cons of PSR and SSR
PSR
• Pros: indep. of avionics
• Cons: data processing, no id, expensive, LOS
SSR
• Pros: id, attitude
• Cons: dep. on avionics, LOS, mantenance,
expensive

Pros and Cons of ADS-B
Pros:
• Low cost
• Very high accuracy and update rate on large airspace
• Simple ground station design
Cons:
• Dependent on avionics equipage
• Confidence in reported messages needs to be enhanced
• Might not be suitable in dense areas as sole means.

Mode S and 1090 MHz ADS-B
18
Principle of Mode S Transmission
19
Definition of Squitter
Unsolicited transmission
Regular but random broadcasts on 1090 MHz
, sent on Mode S tx antenna
Used for:
• TCAS/ACAS (short squitter)
• ADS-B (long or extended squitter)
• both enable MLAT concept
