SOLID STATE TACAN

TL;DRAbstract

Abstract : The object was to perform the design, development, and fabrication of circuitry required for integrating the major solid-state components and sub- systems provided by vendors into an experimental solid-state TACAN transponder beacon and monitor, and to evaluate these components as sub-systems and as a complete TACAN transponder system with monitor. The four-man Montek team accomplished the following: (a) Resolved the problems found in the major solid- state components (sub-systems); (b) Solved the interface problems between the solid-state components; (c) Integrated the major components into a solid-state TACAN ground transponder beacon with monitor; (d) Maintained and utilized an airborne interrogator-responder (AN/ARN-21) to assist in the testing of the solid-state transponder breadboards; and (e) Performed tests to compare the parameters of the solid-state transponder with the AN/URN-3 test bed (which the Montek team set-up and maintained while at Fort Dawes, Massachusett
