37
Q

Dedicated Access Mode

A

guarantees that a LINK-16 User (JU) has exclusive use of his own assigned TSB

38
Q

Contention Access Mode

A

Each unit randomly selects time slots from a commonly assigned pool for transmission; frequency is determined by Access Rate

39

41
Q

44
Q

What does the eMCSU use for its primary connection?

A

7s ohm coaxial cable

45
Q

Radio Horizon

A

approx 15% longer than visual horizon.

46
Q

Propagation

A

is an invisible force that enables man to communicate over long distances.

47
Q

Diffraction

A

The principal effect of diffraction extends the radio range beyond the visible horizon by reflecting of the Earth’s troposphere

48
Q

Ducting

A

reflection of the signal between reflective layers, will only occur when the frequency, angle and reflective layers are ideal

49
Q

Critical Angle

A

the angle at which a wave leaves the transmission source in order to successfully refract off the ionosphere

50
Q

Reflection

A

the path of the wave is altered by contact with the ground

51

A

reflection off of the ionosphere

52
Q

The immediate area near a line-of-sight path. Objects in this area may disturb the signal.

54
Q

Fresnel Effect

A

An object close enough to the signal path, can damage the radio signal. Objects can deflect part of the signal causing a delay in the transmission. Deflected signal can be out of phase reducing or canceling its effect.

TDMA

A

: Time Division Multiple Access - Uses time interlacing to provide multiple and apparently simultaneous communication circuits. Participants are assigned specific time periods during which to transmit and in which to receive.

62
Q

FDMA

A

Frequency Division Multiple Access - splits up the frequency band and conceptually assigns a frequency to an individual transmission and (CDMA) allows several transmitters to send information simultaneously, letting multiple radios share the same bandwidth with only the intended receiver having the ability to decode the transmission
