Abstract :
This paper describes a full solid state 3.5 kW transmitter for high data capacity mode S system. The transmitter meets all the operational requirements imposed by Eurocontrol for the next Pre-Operational European Mode S stations (POEMS). Besides incorporating novel technologies and admitting a very high duty cycle for the transistors, it provides sensors of the most significant equipment parameters for appropriate administration of a mode S station
