Measurement campaign of the Mode A/C components of DATAS at the BFS/GFMS in Lechfeld

A measurement campaign for the evaluation of the DATAS equipment was performed at the flight inspection unit of the DFS (GFMS). 

The objective of the campaign was to assess performance figures for the DATAS when measuring Mode A/C transponders aboard taxiing aircraft on the airport surface. In addition, some limited information on measuring Mode S transponder behaviour as well as performing measurements during final approach were obtained.
