Receiver Characteristics:
Sensitivity Variation with Frequency: The RF input level required to produce 90% replies will
not vary by more than 1 dB between modes and will at
no time exceed a level of -69 dBm for standard
ATCRBS interrogations in the frequency range
between 1029.8 and 1030.2 MHz.
Bandwidth: A standard ATCRBS interrogation signal below 1005
MHz and above 1055 MHz will be at least 60 dB
stronger than that required to produce the same reply
efficiency at 1030 MHz.
