General Description
Purpose of Equipment
1.2. Purpose of Equipment
The BXT6513-(0XX) transponder is designed as a remote c ontrolled single bloc k unit and is intended
for installation in aircraft avionics bay.
BXT6513-(0XX) is a transponder which provides to other stations Mode A/C/S messages as well
ADS-B Extended Squitter functionality (ES).
BXT6513-(0XX) is a remote controlled unit, which does not include a control panel. It can receive
commands and provides data through a set of standard interfaces.
Features:
• Control Interface ARINC 429.
• Mode A - in this mode, the 4096 character code is sent as a reply to interrogation from
a ground station.
• Mode C - in this mode, the encoded altitude is sent in addition to the mode A reply.
o Data range for 25 ft resolution: -1000… 50187 ft.
o Data range for 100 ft resolution: -1000… 126750 ft.
o The altitude information must be delivered from an external device.
• Mode S - interrogations are selective and Mode S transponders will respond to a
single directed interrogation from ground stations or another aircraft with ICAO 24-bit
address.
• ADS-B Broadcast-Only System, transmit:
o Airborne Position Message,
o Surface Position Message,
o Airborne Velocity Message,
o Aircraft Identification and C ateg ory Message,
o Aircraft Operational Status Mes sage,
o Extended Squitter Aircraft Status Message.
• Diversity - operation with two antennas (top and bottom), required for installation in
aircrafts with gross mass in excess of 5700 kg or a maximum cruising true airspeed
in excess of 175 kt (324 km/h).
• Support of the SI code (Surveillance Identifier).
• Register capability for elementary surveillance (ELS) and enhanced surveillance (EHS).
• Data link capability.
• GPS receiver connection capability.
• Selftests (BITs) are integrated in the transponder.
depends on availability of navigation data and GPS capabilities.

010 – Single antenna
1.4. Scope of Functionality
BXT6513-(0XX) is a transponder providing downlink of aircraft information and single antenna and
diversity antenna installations. For single antenna one shall be installed on the bottom side. For
diversity one antenna is installed on the top side, and the other on the bottom side of the aircraft
fuselage (detailed type description see "Type Plate", page 31).
The BXT6513-(0XX) operates on rad ar frequencies; r eceiving ground radar and ACAS inter rogations
and replies via its transmitter with coded pulse packages on 1090 MHz. A
special position identification pulse (SPI) can be added for a period of 18 seconds to each pulse
package after activation of the dedicated discrete signal input on the unit.
The BXT6513-(0XX) meets Mode S Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) requirements.EHS parameters
require additional interface with other aircraft systems and the BXT6513-(0XX). Aircraft that can
provide the list of eight Do wnlink Aircraft Param eters (DAPs) listed in BDS regis ters 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0
are considered to be Mode S EHS capable. Aircraft that cannot provide these parameters will be
considered as, not EHS capable.
1.4.1. Fixed and Non-Volatile Data
The BXT6513-(0XX) configuration is stored in a non-volatile memory. There are two possibilities
where to store configuration data:
• Use the internal memory
• Use the external memory module EM6100.
The selection of equipment configuration source is done by hardware configuration (see “Unit
Configuration", page 46).

Scope of Functionality
1.4.2. Diversity
Antenna diversity reduce t he potential for antenna "shading ", and helps to prevent target drop out in
each situation.
BXT6513-(000) is capable to oper ate with two antennas (top an d bottom), required for insta llation in
aircrafts with gross mass in excess of 5700 kg or a maximum cruising true airspeed in excess of
175 kt (324 km/h).
1.4.3. Mode S
BXT6513-(0XX) as Mode S transponder is an airborne part of Mode S
Secondary Surveillance Radar system which detects ground interrogations arriving at 1030 MHz
signal frequency, processes them and generates responses at 1090 MHz signal frequency.

General Description
Scope of Functionality
1.4.4. ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast)
ADS-B is a GPS based t ec hno logy to define and provide aircr af t rele vant data. To support ADS-B Out,
the aircraft needs a certified GPS receiver as the position so urce, and this device to send the ADS-B
data. This data can be received by other air- and ground stations.
The Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast Out (ADS-B Out) function provides position,
velocity and status data on the transpon der f or broadcasting as extended squitters (ES). When data is
available, it is transmitted at specific periods and enable other participants to determine current
position, velocity and status of the aircraft without interrogation.
BXT6513-(0XX) is an ADS-B class B1 or B1S (airc raft broadcast only) Mode S trans ponder capable
for automatically sending out ADS-B data like:
• ( BD S 0,5) Airborne Position Message.
o SPI.
o Emergency Indicator.
o Barometric Altitude.
o Quality Indicator (NIC).
o Latitude (Airborne Position).
o Longitude (Airborne Posit io n).
• ( BD S 0,6) Surface Position Message.
o Quality Indicator (NIC).
o Latitude (Surface Position).
o Longitude (Surface Position).
o Surface Ground Speed.

• ( BD S 0,8) Aircraft ID and Category Message.
o Aircraft Identification & Categorie.
• ( BD S 0,9) Airborne Velocity.
o Airborne Ground Velocity.
o Geometric to Barometric Altitude Difference.
o Geometric Vertical Speed.
• ( BD S 6,1) Emergency/Priorit y Status.
o Squawk Code.
o Emergency Status.
• ( BD S 6,5) Aircraft Operational Status Message, Airbor ne a nd Surface.

Scope of Functionality
1.4.6. Interfaces
1.4.6.1. ARINC 429 The ARINC 429 specification is a standard how avionics equipment and systems communicate on
aircraft. The specification defines:
• Electrical characteristics,
• Word structures,
• Protocol for bus communication.
Electrical and data form at charac terist ics ar e defined f or a two-wire serial bus with one transm itter and
up to 20 receivers. This simple architecture provides a highly reliable transfer of data. The bus is
capable of operating at a speed of 100 kbit/s.
For detailed information about ARINC 429 specifications please refer to: www.arinc.com.
Copyright Note ARINC: ARINC429 is a privately copy written specification developed to provide interchange ability and
interoperability of line replaceable units (LRUs) in commercial aircraf t. ARINC stands for Aeronaut ical Radio, I nc.
1.4.6.2. Logical Inputs/Outputs The hardware design of BXT6513-(0XX) provides a subset of inputs and outputs required for
transponder operation.
1.4.6.3. Status and Control Ports The hardware design of BXT6513-(0XX) provides a subset of ports for provide information about
transponder status and for controlling.
1.4.6.4. Internal and External Memory An internal or exter nal memory is used as configuration data s ource, saving aircr aft data installation
and configuration data.
On start-up BXT6513-(0XX) reads from this non-volatile memory configuration data which include
parameters specif ic to the actual airc raft and inst allation. Typicall y, an external mem ory (EM) is used.
If BXT6513-(0XX) is replaced e.g. for maintenance, so the new BXT6513-(0XX) can be assembled
with the external m emor y module in t his wa y it is g uarantee d that a ll relev ant data is availa ble for fast
& easy exchange.
