GENERAL
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This manual contains information relative to the physical, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of the Honeywell Silver Crown KT 76C ATCRBS Transponder. Installation and operating
procedures are also included. Information relative to the maintenance, alignment, and procure-
ment of the replacement parts may be found in the KT 76C Maintenance/Overhaul Manual,
P/N 006-15545-00XX (XX = latest revision available).
1.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The KT 76C is a panel mounted, TSO certified Transponder designed to fulfill the role of the airborne beacon equipment according to the requirements of the Air Traffic Radar Beacon System
(ATCRBS) that include ATCRBS Mode A, and ATCRBS Mode C.
The KT 76C features a microprocessor controlled gas discharge display. The 4096 identification
code selection is entered with push-button switches. A rotary knob is used for mode selection control. Additional push-button switches including IDT, VFR, and CLR are provided.
When the KT 76C receives Mode A interrogations from the ground radar facility, it will transmit a
coded group of pulses which consist of a four digit identification number that has been assigned
by the Air Traffic Controller. This code is entered into the KT 76C by the pilot and is transmitted
back to the ground as a Mode “A” reply. This coded information is presented on the ground radar
display at the appropriate range and azimuth. The Air Traffic Controller can then identify each aircraft that is transponder equipped by its distinct coded number.
The VFR code and display brightness can be programmed from the front panel of the KT 76C and
stored in nonvolatile memory, this programming sequence is described in Section III.
The KT 76C also provides Mode “C” or altitude reporting information. When the KT 76C is operated in the “ALT” Mode and used in conjunction with an encoding altimeter, the flight level altitude
is displayed in addition to the transponder code, and the altitude information is transmitted to the
ground in response to Mode “C” interrogations.
When the “IDT” button is pressed, the current 4096 code and an additional special ident pulse are
transmitted by the KT 76C, to insure positive identification.
A test mode is also included in the KT 76C to confirm that all segments in the display are operational.

Sensitivity and Dynamic Range: The minimum triggering level (MTL) is defined as the
minimum input power level that results in a 90% reply
ratio if the interrogation has nominal pulse
characteristics.
A. The MTL for ATCRBS will be -73 dBm +/- 4 dB.
B. The reply ratio will be at least 90% for ATCRBS
interrogations between MTL and 50 dB above MTL.

Reply Transmission Frequency: The transmitter frequency of the reply will be 1090+/-
3MHz when observed in a 50Ω load with a VSWR of
1.2:1 or less.
RF Peak Power Output: The transmitter output power will be 125 watts peak
power minimum and 500 watts peak power maximum
at the terminals of the transponder antenna. The pulse
amplitude variation between any two pulses in an
ATCRBS reply will not exceed 1 dB.
ATCRBS Reply Rate Capability: The transponder will be able to continuously generate
at least 500 ATCRBS 15-pulse replies per second and
will have the capability of a peak reply rate of 1,200
ATCRBS 15-pulse replies.
NOTE: A 15-pulse reply includes 2 framing pulses, the
12 information pulses, and the SPI pulse.

and 13 information pulses. The pulse spacing
tolerance for each pulse (including the last framing
pulse) with respect to the first framing pulse of the

tolerance of any pulse in the reply group with respect
to any other pulse (except the first framing pulse) will
be no more than +/- 0.15 µsec.

Table 1-1 KT 76C Technical Characteristics
Side Lobe Suppression Characteristics:
SLS Decoding and Dynamic Range: A. When the RF input signal is varied from MTL +3 dB
to 50 dB above MTL and the level of P2 equals or
exceeds the level of P1 spaced 2.0 +/- 0.15 µsec from
P1 the transponder will reply to no more than 1% of the
interrogations.
B. When the RF input signal is varied from MTL +3 dB
to 50 dB above MTL and the level of P1 exceeds the
level of P2 by 9 dB or more, or P2 =P1 and is spaced
1.3 µsec or 2.7 µsec from P1, the transponder will
reply to at least 90% of the interrogations.
Pulse Decoder Characteristics: Unless otherwise specified, the following pulse
decoder characteristics will apply for an RF input
signal levels of MTL to 50 dB above MTL and nominal
interrogation signal characteristics. Applicable “valid”
interrogations will result in at least 90% replies, and
interrogations which are “invalid” will result in less than
10% replies.
Pulse Position Tolerances: A. The transponder will accept the pulse position of
ATCRBS interrogations as valid if the spacing
between P1 and P3 is within +/- 0.2 µsec of the
nominal spacing.
B. The transponder will not accept the pulse position
of ATCRBS as valid if the spacing between P1 and P3
differs from the nominal spacing by 1.0 µsec or more.
Pulse Duration Tolerances: The transponder will accept the pulses of an ATCRBS
interrogation as valid if the duration of both P1 and P3
is between 0.7 and 0.9 µsec.
NOTE: All measurements are made with a 2 dB cable loss.
