Abstract
Generally, flight information is transmitted by voice signal over legacy UHF radio in ground to air communication system. In this paper, we have implemented the transceiver of TDL(tactical data link) which transmits tactical information, such as flight information, using digital signal. For transmitting digital information over radio path, we have designed data modem that is processing CPFSK modulation, and TDMA(Time Division Multiple Access) network for Synchronization among multi user(platform). By simulating aeronautical propagation modeling with the environment of Korea terrain, it is predicted the maximum performance of communication range of the transceiver. As result of the transceiver's aviational boarding test, it is proved that the transceiver of TDL over legacy UHF radio transmits and receives the tactical information in TDMA network within communication range of 160km.
