GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION This manual contains information relative to the physical, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of the
Honeywell KTR 2280A MMDR. Installation and check out procedures are also included. Information relative to the maintenance, alignment, and procurement of the replacement parts may b e found in this KTR 2280 A CMM, Publication No. D201610000050. Final design of the installation an d ai rwor th iness approval is incumbent upo n the installer and their respective certification authority.
1.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The KTR 2280A MMDR T ransceiver is a blind panel mounted integrated transceiver containing one transmitter and six receivers. Depending on system configuration, all six receivers can be simultan eously active. The KTR 2280A will operate from a normal voltaqe of 27.5 VDC. The KTR 2280A is designed with ARINC 429 interfaces which is intended for use in the aircraft. It is also designed with RS-422 capabilities that will be used primarily for development and testing in the engineering lab. The KTR 2280A is controlled by other LRUs which will send control information to the KTR 2280A th rough ARINC 429 data. Some outputs from the KTR 2280A are in digital formats and sent to other LRUs through ARINC 429. Other outputs are more traditional analog outputs.
The six receivers and their modes of operation are as follows, The NAV receiver operates in one of three modes as dynamically controlled by the system interface. These three modes are VOR, LOC, and VDB. The GS operates in the Glideslope mode only. The ADF operates in the di rection find ing an d AM modes. There are three COM receivers. The first COM is a traditional AM mode receiver with either 25 or 8.33 kHz channel spac ing. The second AM COM receiver functions as a Guard channel receiver with either 25 or 8.33 kHz channel spacing. The third COM receiver is capable of receiving either VDL Mode 2 (D8PSK) or VDL Mode A (MSK) signals. The COM transmitter is capable of AM, VDL Mode 2, or VDL Mode A modes.
The KTR 2280A contains BIT equipment so that the operatio nal health of the unit is constantly monitored. When a critical fault is detected, the unit notifies the host system. The unit stores detected failures in non-volatile memory for later review. The unit also has a temperature sensor and a timer so that faults can be time stamped and temperature data can be collected and stored.

SECTION 2

INSTALLATION

2.1 G ENER AL INFO RMATION This section contains general suggestions and information to consider before installation of the KTR 2280A.
Close adherence to these suggestions will assure optimum performance from the equipment. NOTE: The conditions and test required for the TSO/ETSO approval of this article are minimum performance
standards. Those installing this article, on or within a specific type or class of aircraft, are responsible for determining that the aircraft installation conditions are suitable for the TSO/ETSO article. TSO/ ETSO articles must have separate approval for installation in an aircraft. The article can be installed only if performed under article 14 CFR part 43 or the applicable airworthiness requirements.
NOTE: Per AC 23.1309-1E, the probability of total loss of navigation and communication (a Hazardous
failure) must be less than 1E-7 (Part 23 Class III or Class IV) per flight hour and only dual installation of KTR 2280A can support this probability requirement without the installation of additional navigation or communication equipment. Additionally, other installation considerations must be analyzed (e.g. electrical wiring and interconnect, power distribution, RF cabling and antennas) to determine the acceptability.
2.2 UNPACKING and INSPECTING EQUIPMENT Exercise extreme care when unpacking the equipment. Make a visual inspection of the unit for evidence of
damage during shipment. If a claim for damage is to be made, save the shipping container to substantiate the claim. The claim must be promptly filed with the transportation company. It would be advisable to retain the container and packing material after all equipment has been removed, in the event that equipment storage or reshipment must become necessary.
2.3 EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
2.3.1 Avionics Cooling Requirements The unit is cooled by a fan internal to the unit and an external fan attached to the rear rack assembly plate, the
latter being a part of the installation (Refer to Figure 2-21 KTR 2280A Installation Drawing ). During installa tion, do not block any holes in the unit cover(s) which would restrict air flow.
2.3.2 Equipment Location The following paragraphs contain information pertaining to the initial installation of the KTR 2280A MMDR,
including instructions concerning the location and mounting of the supporting antenna(s). The equipment must be installed in the aircraft in a manner consistent with acceptable workmanship and
engineering practices and in accordance with the instructions set forth in this publication. To ensure that the system has been properly and safely installed in the aircraft, the installer make a tho rough visual inspection and conduct an overall operational check of the system on the ground prior to flight.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL
KTR 2280A
The installation must be in accordance with standards established by the customer's installing agency and existing conditions as to unit location and type of installation; however, the following must be considered before installing the system in order to assure a more satisfactory performance from the equipment.
NOTE: The TSO identifies the minimum performance standards, tests, and other conditions applicable for
issuance of design and production approval of the article. The TSO applicant is responsible for documenting all limitations and conditions suitable for installation of the article. An applicant requesting approval for installation of the article within a specific type or class of pr oduct is responsible for determining environmental and functional compatibility.
Care must be exercised to avoid mounting components near equipment operating with high pulse current or high rf power outputs such as radar and satellite communications equipment. In general, the equipment must be installed in a location convenient for operation, inspection, and maintenance, and in an a rea con sistent with the TSO environmental limits. Determine the mounting location for system components following the guidelines below
2.3.2.1 Mounting Tray Location(s) The KTR 2280A MMDR mounting tray can be installed in any convenient location.
2.3.2.2 Antenna(s) The antenna(s) must be well removed from other antenna projections, the engine(s), and propeller(s). It must
also be well removed from landing gear doors, access doors, or other openings which will break the ground plane for the antenna(s). On metal skinned aircraft, the an tenna(s) must be b onded to the surfa ce of the aircraft in a fore to aft location that provides the flattest ground plane. On composite aircraft, the antenna(s) must be located at the center of a conductive ground plane, contoured to the shape of the aircraft, having dimensions of at least 2 feet by 2 feet. The antenna penetration must be designed such that the structural integrity of the fuselage is not compromised. The antenna(s) need to be withi n 5 degrees of the centerline.
Where practical, plan the antenna location(s) to ke ep cable lengths a s short as po ssible and avoi d sharp bends in the cable to minimize the VSWR. Avoid running other cables or wires near the antenna cable(s).
On pressurized aircraft, the antenna(s) must be sealed using an approved sealant, such as RTV No . 3145 (PN 016-01082-0000) or equivalent, around the connector and mounting hardware.
The antenna edge and mounting hardware recesses must be sealed from the outside for moisture protection using RTV or equivalent.
Mount the antenna(s) in as clean as environment as possible, away from exhaust gases and oils. The antenna(s) must be kept clean. If left dirty (oil covered), the antenna performance can be affected.
2.3.3 KTR 2280A Mechanical Installation The mounting tray for the MMDR must be mounted using the dimensions specified in the outline and mounting
drawing, Figure 2-21 (KTR 2280A Installation Drawing). Install the unit as follows:
(1) Slide the MMDR into the tray until the locking rod engages the nut on the back of the
rack.

2.3.4 Antenna Mechanical Installation
2.3.4.1 VHF COM Antennas The VHF COM antenna must be mounted as far away as possible (8 fee t, minimum) from other similar antennas
and the vertical stabilizer. Mounting the COM antenna as far away as possible from the navigation antenna will help reduce COM to NAV interference. The COM antenna must also be mounted as far away as possible from an ELT antenna to prevent distortion of the radiated pattern and to prevent radiated broadband noise from the ELT when excited by the COM transmissions. Radiated broadband noise from an ELT is a common cause of COM-to-COM and COM-to-NAV interference. Mounting one antenna on top of the fuselage at the highest location to ensure a good radiation pattern and the other on the bottom of the fuselage offers good separation with a minimum of interaction.
It is recommended that one COM transceiver be connected to the top antenna for good ground communication and that the other COM transceiver be connected to the bottom antenna to provide good airborne communications. If mounting ante nnas on the sam e side of the aircraft is unavoidable, main tain the minimum allowable separation (8 feet).
The antenna must be mounted on a section of the aircraft that is horizontal d uring cruise fligh t. The base of the antenna must be well bonded to the metal aircraft skin. Remove any paint from around the mounting holes to ensure a good connection between the antenna and the skin. The metal aircraft skin at the base of the antenna must extend a minimum of twenty-four inches in every direction. This provides the ground plane required for the antenna. Any less metallized area will result in reduced communication range at some bearings around the aircraft and can increase interference to and from other systems.
The COM transceiver performance depend s heavily on the integrity of the electrical bonding to the airframe and also the electrical integrity of the aircra ft structure. If the electrical resistance between an antenna and the aircraft or between adjacent skin panels change intermittently, noisy communications can result.

KTR 2280A
Connect the antenna to the COM unit with 50 ohm coaxial cable, keeping the cable length to a minimum and avoiding sharp bends in the cable. Keep the COM antenna cable as far away from other antenna cables as possible and do not bundle several cables together. Prepare the cable to the BNC connector as shown in Figure 2-18 Right Angle Connector Instruction Sheet
Use Dow-Corning DC-4, or equivalent, on both inside and outside of the connector and its mate as an effective barrier against moisture and to prevent corrosion.
2.3.4.2 NAV Antennas LIMITATIONS: If radio is used for VDB installation, the total minimum installation loss must be 5 dB in NAV
antenna RF path. Installation loss includes the antenna gain and implementation loss from antenna to MMDR.
The NAV antenna must be well removed from other antennas, projections, engines or prope llers. I t mus t hav e a clear line of sight area if possible. The antenna must be mounted symmetrically with the center line of the aircraft. Avoid running other coaxial cables and wires near the NAV antenna cable.
The VOR/LOC antenna with Glideslope is a two piece dipole with one part mounted on each side of the vertical stabilizer. It must be installed on the upper section of the vertical stabilizer of single finned aircraft and be at least 28 inches (measured vertically) from the horizontal stabilizer.
On dual VOR/ILS installations, it is recommended that a splitter be used to divide signals from a single VOR/ LOC antenna into two or more receivers. Use double shielded cables to reduce interference to the receivers. Prepare the cable to the BNC connector as shown in Figure 2-18 Right Angle Connector Instruction Sheet
2.3.4.3 ADF Antennas The antenna installation will determine, to a large extent, whether the ADF will give optimum performance as
required. The KA 44B ADF Antenna contains both the loop and sense antennas. The following considerations must be taken into account before selecting a location for the antenna:
CAUTION KEEP THE ANTENNA AT LEAST 4 FEET AWAY FROM DME OR TRANSPONDER ANTENNAS
TO MINIMIZE L-BAND INTERFERENCE. THE ANTENNA MUST BE MOUNTED WELL CLEAR OF THE AIRCRAFT GENERATOR/ALTERNATOR AND WELL CLEAR OF ANY GENERATOR/ ALTERNATOR CABLES.
CAUTION: DO NOT ROUTE THE CABLES ALONG WITH HIGH POWER LEVEL TRANSMITTING
CABLES. DO NOT ROUTE THE CABLES WITH OR NEAR ALTERNATOR OR 400HZ CABLES. MAKE SURE THAT THE CABLES DO NOT INTERFERE WITH ANY OF THE AIRCRAFT CONTROL CABLES.
• Mount the antenna on the center line of the aircraft fuselage. Failure to do so can result in excessive Q.E. error.
• If the antenna is to be top mounted, select a location where shadowing from the wings, etc., is minimized.
• The antenna must be well removed from any projections such as engines and propellers, as well as landing gear doors, access doors or other openings which will break the ground plane for the antenna.

• Use the template included in the installation kit to mark the mounting holes on the aircraft fuselage.
• Drill and/or punch the required holes.
• Use a piece of fine sandpaper or emery cloth to sand the area on the fuselage skin on which the backup plate is to be mounted.
• Apply Alumiprep No. 33, PN 016-01127-0000, to both the inside area of the fuselage and the back of the doubler plate, following the directions on the container to cleanse the metal of any residue.
• Apply Alodine No. 1001, PN 016-00128-0000, to both locations following the directions on the container. This is used to ensure good bonding and prevent oxidation.
• Refer to the installation manual and mount the antenna as shown. First rivet the doubler plate in place. It is imperative that the doubler plate make a good ground plane contact with the inside of the aircraft skin.
• Prepare the ADF RF cable as shown in Figure 2-1 thru Figur e 2-11 Quadraxial Cable Prepara tion. Note that the cable provided can be cut to length as required for the installation.
2.3.5 KTR 2280A Wiring and Cable Installation
KTR 2280A
2.3.5.1 KTR 2280A Interconnection and Cable Harness Fabrication The KTR 2280A MMDR receives primary power from the aircraft power source. A typical interface is shown in
Figure 2-24 KTR 2280A Interconnect Diagram. Aircraft specific interfaces with more details are provided in separate EB or Installation Drawings.
The length of the wires to parallel pins must be approximately the same length, so that the best dis tribution of current can be effected. Honeywell recommends that all wires, including spares, as provided with the interconnect definition information be included in the fabrication of the wiring harness. However; if full wiring is not desired, the installer must ensure that the minimum wiring requirements for the features and functions to be used have been incorporated.
When cables are installed in the aircraft, they must be supported firmly enough to pr event movement an d must be carefully protected against c hafing. Additional protection must also be provided in all locations where the cable can be subjected to chafing.
In wire bundles, the cabling must not be tied tightly together as this tends to increase the possibility of noise pickup and similar interference. When routing cables through the aircraft the cables must cross high level RF lines at right angles.
Prior to installing any equipment, make a continuity check of all wires and cables associated with the system. Then apply power and check for proper voltages at system connectors, and then remove power before completing the installation.
The following guidelines are recommended:
(1) The installing facility will supply and fabricate all external cables. The required connec-
tors are supplied as part of the installation kit (Refer to 1.4.1 KTR 2280A Installation Kit).

(2 ) Th e un it mu st b e kept a m inimum of three fee t from the antenna. Ad ditionally , the an-
tenna coax cable must not be bundled with the other wiring harnesses to the unit.
(3 ) T he l en gth a nd r outing of the external cables must be carefully planned before attempt-
ing the actual installation. Avoid sharp bends or locating the cable near aircraft contro l cables. The cables must be of a length to allow for a “maintenance loop”. That is, the length must be adequate to access and extend the connectors aft of the pan el for future maintenance purposes. Excess cablin g must be secured and stowed by tie-wrapping until such maintenance is required.
(4 ) T he c ab les m ust be supported firmly enough to prevent movement. They must be care-
fully protected wherever one can chafe against another or against some other object. Extra protection must be provided in all locations where the cables can be subject to chafe. Shields on shielded wires must be grounded in accordance with the system in­terconnection information.

shielding cannot be carried through by use of a bulkhead/connector pin, precautions must be taken to ensure each segment of the shielded lead be grounded at only one point. A ground connection of not more than two inches in length must be used. The preceding discussion does not apply to coaxial and quadraxial cable.
(6 ) A voi d routing cables near high noise and high power sources.

Pe rfo rm a g rou nd c hec k of t he in st all at ion b ef ore t he f li ght t es t . U sin g a lo ca l fr eq uency, confirm
that the COM function can receive and transmit a modulated si gnal. Using a ramp tester, con­firm that VOR, LOC, and GS needle deflections move in the correct direction, the To/F rom flag is the proper sense, and that the warning flags are functioning properly. Check all aircraft con­trol movements to be sure no electrical cables interfere with their operation.
CAUTION: AS AN ADDED PRECAUTION BEFORE ANY FLIGHT TESTS, CHECK THE ANTENNA.
VSWR MUST BE CHECKED WITH AN IN-LINE TYPE WATTMETER INSERTED IN THE COAXIAL TRANSMISSION LINE BETWEEN THE TRANSCEIVER AND THE ANTENNA. ANY PROBLEM WITH THE ANTENNA INSTALLATION WILL MOST LIKELY BE SEEN AS A HIGH REFLECTED POWER.
NOTE: Installed system transmitter power may show considerably less that the manufacturer’s rating of
16 W (minimum). There are several reasons for this:
1. It i s n o t u nc omm on f or a n i nst al lat io n to h av e up t o a s mu ch a s 1 dB o f R F tr an smi ss ion line cable loss. This would reduce a 16 W transmitter output to 12.7 W.
2. RF power meter test equipment that has an accuracy of ± 0.3 dB would cause power reading variations as high as ± 1 W.
3. Th e e ffe ct of antenna VSWR in a given installation will affect the output power. The VSWR is a function of the antenna design itself, aircraft skin properties and proximate metallic features of the airframe, and the size of the metallic surface the antenna is bonded to. Note that the committees that wrote the Minimum Operation Performance Standards to which the VHF COM system is TSO’d are aw are of this characteristic. They have established that transmitter power for a 16 W (minimum) transmitter must not drop below 8.0 W into a 2:1 VSWR and 6.4 W into a 3:1 VSWR (Refer to RTCA­DO-186B and Eurocae ED-23C).

little or no compensation must be required. Nonetheless, the KTR 2280A provides soft­ware adjustment of Quadrantal Error (the average amount of quadrantal error (QE) that exists due to the shape of the airframe). The values for these alignments are stored within the aircraft system maintenance computer and downloaded to the KTR 2280A on power up. If this download does not occur the KTR 2280A uses the last values that were loaded.

2.4.2 KTR 2280A Post-Installation Flight Tests
2.4.2.1 COM TRANSCEIVER FLIGHT TEST To check the COM transceiver, maintain altitude of at least 1500 feet and contact a ground station
facility at a range of at least fifty nautical miles. Contact a ground station close in. Disable the automatic squelch and listen for any unusual electrical noise which would reduce the COM receiver sensitivity by increasing the squelch threshold. If possible, verify the communications capability on both the high and low end of the VHF COM band. Ensure that the COM mode selector is capable of individually selecting all three modes (one mode at a time).
2.4.2.2 NAV RECEIVER FLIGHT TEST To check the VOR/ILS system, select a VOR frequency within a forty nautical mile range. Listen to the
VOR audio and ensure that no electrical interference such as magneto noise is present. Check the tone

LEFT-RIGHT and TO-FROM indications. Check the VOR accuracy. NOTE: VOR ground station scalloping may be present. To check the localizer and glideslope functions, select an appropriate ILS frequency an d fly an approach
to the proper runway. Check for proper LEFT-RIGHT and UP-DOWN indications.
2.4.2.3 ADF RECEIVER FLIGHT TEST Confirm that bearing indications to several local NDB facilities appear reasonable. Listen to the ADF
audio and ensure that no unusual electrical interference is present.
2.5 KTR 2280A INSTALLA TION PARAMETER MODIFICATIONS
The KTR 2280A has several parameters that can be adjusted during installation in order to conform the unit to a given installation. Parameter modifications must only be performed by a qualified avionics technician. Table 2-7 Unit Parameters, lists the KTR 2280A adjustments accessible by the technician to facilitate the unit installation.
NOTE: KTR 2280A units sent to the factory for repair will be returned to service with their factory defaults
reset as shown in Table 2-7 Unit Parameters.
The method for setting these parameters is a function of the specific installed system and the user interface used for personality module settings. Refer to the appropriate STC Installation Manual for specific instructions. The KTR 2280A responds to installed system personality module settings through high speed ARINC 429 labels 300, 301, 302, and 303. These labels occur periodically at a 1 Hz rate.

SECTION 3

OPERATION

3.1 GENERAL The KTR 2280A is a remote mounted radio. As such, the user interface is defined by controllers and displays
unique to the particular system configuration. Refer to the appropriate pilot’s guide or flight manual supplement for complete operating instructions.
The paragraphs below provide an overview of the controls and displays that are typically available in systems that provide full KTR 2280A functionality.
3.1.1 VHF COM Controls and Displays A. Frequency Selectors: An active frequency (channel) and a standby frequency (channel)
selector. A “swap” or “flip-flop” button may be available for swapping the active and standby frequencies. The KTR 2280A responds to high speed ARINC 429 labels 030 and 052 for the active and standby selections respectively. These labels appear only when a frequency (channel) change is made.
B. Volume Control: A rotational knob or up/down pushbutton to adjust the volume of the COM
audio output. The KTR 2280A responds to high speed ARINC 429 label 266 for the COM volume control setting. This label appears only when a volume change is made.
C. RX/TX Annunciators: Some display means indicate when the radio is transmitting (TX
Annunciator) and when the radio is receiving (RX Annunciator). This is keyed by the squelch status. The KTR 2280A outputs the RX status and TX status on the high speed ARINC 429 label 267, having a 5 Hz update rate.
D. Squelch Disable Control: Normally a pushbutton that cycles between Squelch Disable and
Squelch Enable. The RX annunciator will be displayed during Squelch Disable. The KTR 2280A responds to high speed ARINC 429 label 266 for COM squelch disable (override). This label appears only when a status change is made.
E. Stuck Microp ho n e Annu nc iator: Some display means to indicate when the Pus h-to -T a lk (PTT )
button has been held down beyond the 30 seco nd transmitter time-out per iod. The KTR 2280A outputs the stuck microphone alert on high speed ARINC 429 label 267, having a 5 Hz update rate.
F. Emergency COM Control: Some means to channel the KTR 2280A transmitter and receiver to
a pre-defined emergency frequency (ch an nel) in the event of display and/or control failure. Pin 26 on main connector J1 (Refer to Figure 2-24 KTR 2280A Interconnect Diagram) is the discrete control for this function. Grounding this normally open pin places the unit into Emergency COM Mode.
G. AUX COM channel and volume controls are typically not available. These parameters can be
adjusted through APM settings.

3.1.3 ADF Controls and Displays A. Frequency Selectors: An active frequency (channel) and a standby frequency (channel)
selector. A “swap” or “flip-flop” button may be available for swapping the active and standby frequencies. The KTR 2280A responds to high speed ARINC 429 label 032 for frequency selection. This label only occurs when a frequency (channel) change is made.
B. Volume Control: A rotational knob or up/down pushbutton to adjust the volume of the ADF audio
output. The KTR 2280A responds to high speed ARINC 429 label 262 for volume setting. This label only occurs when a change is made.
C. Mode Control: A means to select the following ADF operating modes:
ADF Mode - The normal ADF operating mode. ANT Mode - The mode in which ADF bearing information is defeated and receiver sensitivity
and bandwidth are optimized for audio recep tio n only. BFO Mode - The mode required in order to use first generation NDB facilities that used on/off carrier keying for identification.
The KTR 2280A responds to high speed ARINC 429 label 032 for mode selection. This label only occurs when a change is made.
3.1.4 VDL Mode A and VDL Mode 2 A. VDL Mode A
Mode A allows the KTR 2280A to exchange downlink and uplink POA data messages with a CMF through a transmit/receive pair of 100 Kbps ARINC 429 digital interfaces.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION MANUAL
KTR 2280A
The downlink message data bits transferred to the KTR 2280A modulate the RF carrier at a rate of 2,400 bps using the DSB-AM MSK modulation scheme.
The KTR 2280A also controls when to access the channel to transmit data. The data link channel selection is still controlled by the CMF , but channel selection messages are exchanged through the same high-speed ARINC 429 interface used to exchange AOA messages which simplifies wiring.
BVDL Mode 2
VDL Mode 2 is the term used to describe a suite of air /ground protocols that increase s the data rate of the air/ground link to 31,500 bps.
VDL Mode 2 allows the transition from character-oriented ACARS protocols for end-to-end delivery of messages to one that uses bit-o rient ed ATN protocols using the same VHF ground and aircraft radios. The KTR 2280A Mode 2 capability supports the transmission and reception of standard ACARS messages using a protocol referred to as AOA.
The KTR 2280A Mode 2 capability also supports the transmission and reception of bit-oriented
ATN application messages such as CPDLC. The set of VDL Mode 2 protocols consist of the physical layer protocol, channel access protocol, data link service and management protocol, and Mode 2 network access protocol. The physical layer protocol includes the modulation, data rate, and forward error correction techniques used to transmit data over the air/ground link.
The channel access protocol is the method that allows multiple aircraft to communicate with the ground stations on the same frequency. The data link service and management protocol includes procedures to establish, maintain and hand-off an air/ground link, and ensure error-free delivery of messages . The network access protocol is the interface between users and the Mode 2 air/ground link service providers. As in Mode A, only the physical layer and channel access protocols are performed by the KTR 2280A while the data link service and management, and the network access protocols are performed by the CMF.
The VDL Mode 2 physical layer protocol employs a bit transmission rate of 31,500 bps over the
air/ground link on a single 25-kHz channel. The increased utilization of the 25-kHz channel is achieved by use of a bandwidth modulation scheme known as D8PSK. A D8PSK transmitter transmits a carrier whose phase is modulat ed by the data. The phase can be 0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, or 315 degrees. The rate at which the carrier p hase is changed is the modulation rate.
The phase difference or D8PSK symbol between successive phase changes can be equal to 0, 45, 90, 135, 180, 225, 270, or 315 degrees. Since there are eight possible phase differences, each phase change (D8PSK symbol) represents three bits of information: 000, 001, 011, 010, 110, 111, 101, or 100.
For example, if the phase changes at a 10.5-kHz rate, the bit transm ission rate is equal to 31.5 Kbps. The VDL Mode 2 D8PSK modulator uses the bits in the message, three at a time, to select the carrier phase change at a rate of 10 ,500 D 8PSK sym bols e ach seco nd. A 10 .5-k Hz D8PSK phase modulation rate corresponds to a D8PSK bit transmission rate of 31.5 Kbps.
The VDL Mode 2 channel access protocol is CSMA modifi ed to let all terminals to hav e equal chances to access the channel when multiple terminals have data to transmit. The ability to

optimize the CSMA protocol is included in the VDL Mode 2 channel access protocol specification.
As in Mode A, the Mode 2 data link channel selection is controlled by the CMF through the same high-speed ARINC 429 interface used to exchange downlink and uplink AOA or ATN messages. The CMF also dynamically controls the switching between Mode A and Mode 2 operation subject to available coverage. Since the VDL Mode 2 data rate and modulation scheme differ from those used in Mode A, separate VHF frequencies and ground-based VHF equipment must be used to give POA and AOA/ATN service coverage. As a result, the availability of high-speed AOA service depends on the availability of ground stations.

KA 44B ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
The KA 44B ADF Antenna (Honeywell PN 071-1234-00) is certified to TSO C41c with RTCA DO-160A
environmentals per B2D2/A/LJY/XXXXXX/ABABA.
Recent "not-for-certification-credit" testing has been performed on this antenna to determine expected
performance in selected DO-160D environmental conditions. DO-160D Section 20 (RF Susceptibility) Tests A KA 44B production test sample was subjected to Categor y TT fields as de fined in th e test environment called
out in RTCA DO-160D Section 20 (Change No. 1). This unit was tested in conjunction with the KTR
2280 Multi-Mode Digital Radio. All conducted and radiated susceptibility performance requirements
were passed except for radiated susceptibility in the band of interference frequencies between 277 MHz
and 339 MHz. Within this band the KA 44B could not tolerate interference levels greater than 0.8 V/m
(for acceptable audio signal-to-noise) or greater than 1.1 V/m (for acceptable bearing error). A KA 44B production test sample was subjected to the 100 V/M (and greater) HIRF levels expected for aircraft
system level certification. This test was done in a manner consistent with aircraft system level HIRF
certification testing. No permanent damage was noted dur ing th e HIRF e xposur e a nd the unit r etur ned
immediately to normal operation after the HIRF event terminated. DO-160D Section 22 (Lightning Induced Transient Susceptibility) Tests A KA 44B production test sample was subjected to Category A3J33 as defined and in the test environment
called out in RTCA DO-160D Section 22 (Change No. 3). The KA 44B passed all requirements. DO-160D Section 23 (Lightning Direct Effects) Tests A KA 44B production test sample was subjected to Category 2A as defined in the test environment called ou t in
RTCA DO-160D Section 23. The KA 44B passed all requirements. Other DO-160D based test data has been collected and is available on request from Honeywell.
