Abstract

Three distinct mechanisms of interference of JTIDS transmissions to DME are investigated: false interrogator triggering, transponder overloading and desensitization of either transponder or interrogator receivers. The effect of transponder overloading due to JTIDS transmissions is found the most serious. An analytical method is provided which relates the transponder reply efficiency to the load of the interrogations received in the presence of JTIDS transmissions.
