The signal shall have randomly distributed pulses which shall bemaintained at a rate of 2700 90 pairs per sec before the reference groups are added; the randompulses shall include any distance replies.

38、 of the random pulse pairs, for nointerrogating load, shall fall within the limits shown on Figure 1, for a dead time of 60 sec.5.10 Dead time . Dead time is defined as the total time following a decoded pulse pair (froman interrogation or noise) during which there will be no response to subsequent

39、interrogations ornoise. The dead time shall not normally exceed 60 sec and is not usually extended by the echosuppression circuits, but or special cases where the geographical site of the transponder is such asto produce undesirable reflection problems, a longer echo suppression time may be specifie

40、d; thiswill tend to increase the average dead time. In extreme cases, this may require compensatingpulses to maintain azimuth accuracy. The spacing between any two consecutively transmittedrandom pulse pairs that are not replies shall be not less than 60 sec.5.11 Composite 15 and 135 Hz variable bea

41、ring signal . The bearing signal shall be generatedby rotating a directional pattern which produces, at a point in space, a composite amplitudemodulation of the r.f. pulse signals at 15 and 135 Hz. Viewed from above, the direction ofpattern rotation shall be clockwise. For X-mode operation the ampli

42、tude modulation shall besynchronized with the 15 Hz main reference group so that at a point due south of the beacon the10th pulse of the main reference group will coincide with the positive slope point of inflection ofthe 15 Hz component of the bearing signal and at points geographically spaced by a

43、ll multiples of40 degrees from due south, the 12th pulse of each auxiliary reference group shall coincide withthe positive slope point of inflection of the 135 Hz component. For Y-Mode operation thecoincidence points shall be midway between the 6th and 7th pulses of the 15 Hz reference group,and sha

44、ll be at the 12th pulse of the 135 Hz reference group. The main reference group shalloccur when the maximum of the composite signal is directed due east of the transponder.
