Part of the shift is in the amount of discussion — there is certainly an increase in media This shift is a strong signal for renewed commitment to the FIRST T coverage. There has also been a shift in the intensity of the vision. In the 17 years since FIRST was founded, nothing has been more conversation — there is clearly a heightened sense of urgency in the essential to our success than personal connection. The clearest example calls for solutions. Both these are positive developments. More is the personal commitment of you, our teams, mentors, teachers, parents, awareness and urgency around the “science problem” are central to sponsors, and volunteers. For you, this has been personal all along. As the FIRST vision, after all. However, we believe there is another shift more people make a personal connection, we will gain more energy, happening and it has enormous potential for FIRST. create more impact, and deliver more success in changing the way our culture views science and technology.

  • ACARS Aeronautical Radio, Inc
    Introducing ACARS Aeronautical Radio, Inc. (commonly known as: "ARINC") maintains a huge VHF and HF voice network throughout the United States and overseas to provide operational radio communications for the aircraft industry. In the early eighties they developed an addressable, digital data link for commercial and business jets and their respective companies known as ACARS. ACARS stands for Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System. It was produced to reduce the flight crew's work-load by using modern computer technology to exchange many routine reports and messages. This improves the safety and efficiency of modern air travel. ACARS uses the AM mode because the same airborne VHF radio is often also used for voice communications. Burst transmissions are used with a limit of 220 ■ ACARS FREQUENCIES characters per message. Transmissions often last less than one second! MHz Function Therefore when monitoring ACARS it is important to leave your receiver's 131.550 Primary USA/Canada squelch off. To monitor ACARS transmissions you will need a VHF scanner or 130.025 Secondary USA receiver capable of tuning the VHF (AM) aircraft band 118 to 136 MHz. 129.125 Tertiary USA 131.725 Primary Europe ACARS messages are very structured. Each position in the message has a 131.450 Primary Japan specific function.

  • Radiounet: Fast Radio Map Estimation with Convolutional Neural Networks
    RadioUNet: Fast Radio Map Estimation with Convolutional Neural Networks Ron Levie1;2, C¸a˘gkan Yapar3,∗ Gitta Kutyniok1;4, Giuseppe Caire3 BLAN 1Department of Mathematics, LMU Munich BLANK 2Institute of Mathematics, TU Berlin BLA 3Institute of Telecommunication Systems, TU Berlin 4Department of Physics and Technology, University of Tromsø December 23, 2020 Abstract In this paper we propose a highly efficient and very accurate deep learning method for estimating the propagation pathloss from a point x (transmitter location) to any point y on a planar domain. For applications such as user-cell site association and device-to-device link scheduling, an accurate knowledge of the pathloss function for all pairs of transmitter-receiver locations is very important. Commonly used statistical models approximate the pathloss as a decaying function of the distance between transmitter and receiver. However, in realistic propagation environments characterized by the presence of buildings, street canyons, and objects at different heights, such radial-symmetric functions yield very misleading results. In this paper we show that properly designed and trained deep neural networks are able to learn how to estimate the pathloss function, given an urban environment, in a very accurate and computationally efficient manner. Our proposed method, termed RadioUNet, learns from a physical simulation dataset, and generates pathloss estimations that are very close to the simulations, but are much faster to compute for real-time applications. Moreover, we propose methods for transferring what was learned from simulations to real-life. Numerical results show that our method significantly outperforms previously proposed methods. Keywords: Convolutional Neural Networks, Signal Strength Prediction, Radio Maps.

  • 767 ACARS Revision
    MONTHLY NEWS REVIEW February 2015 L2 Aviation Completes 767-300 ACARS Supplemental Type Certificate Revision to Support CPDLC over ATN Austin, Texas – January 26th, 2015 L2 Consulting Services, Inc. (L2) is pleased to announce that the company has successfully completed a revision of its existing 767-300 Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting Systems (ACARS) FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (ST11124SC). The certification program involved upgrading the current ARINC 724B ACARS with a new ARINC 758 ACARS system and upgraded the legacy ARINC 716 VHF Radio to the latest ARINC 750 VHF Data Radio for Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) operations. The state of the art communications management system operates over Aeronautical Telecommunication Network VHF Digital Link (ATN VDL) Mode 2 (CPDLC-ATN-B1 VDLM2). Additionally, the certification included the installation/activation of a Cockpit Voice Recorder – Data Link (CVR-DL) interface, and installation/activation of an independent Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver to support CPDLC operations to meet EUROCONTROL CPDLC (formerly known as Link 2000+). L2 President, Mark Lebovitz said, “CPDLC has been deployed to decrease voice channel occupancy and increase flight safety and efficiency through more effective datalink communications.” He added, “Future CPDLC uses will likely include route clearance uplink, 4D trajectories, continuous descent approaches, and constraint coordination.” Overall the system is designed to supplement voice communication between aircraft pilots and air traffic controllers allowing for an increase in air traffic management capacity by automating routine tasks and improving safety. L2 Consulting developed the engineering design, coordinated the certification requirements with the FAA, produced the installation kits for the end airline customer and provided project management for the program.

  • Use of GIS in Radio Frequency Planning and Positioning Applications
    Use of GIS in Radio Frequency Planning and Positioning Applications Victoria R. Jewell Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering R. Michael Buehrer, Chair Peter M. Sforza Jeffrey H. Reed July 3, 2014 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: GIS, RF Modeling, Positioning Copyright 2014, Victoria R. Jewell Use of GIS in Radio Frequency Planning and Positioning Applications Victoria R. Jewell (ABSTRACT) GIS are geoprocessing programs that are commonly used to store and perform calculations on terrain data, maps, and other geospatial data. GIS offer the latest terrain and building data as well as tools to process this data. This thesis considers three applications of GIS data and software: a Large Scale Radio Frequency (RF) Model, a Medium Scale RF Model, and Indoor Positioning. The Large Scale RF Model estimates RF propagation using the latest terrain data supplied in GIS for frequencies ranging from 500 MHz to 5 GHz. The Medium Scale RF Model incorporates GIS building data to model WiFi systems at 2.4 GHz for a range of up to 300m. Both Models can be used by city planners and government officials, who commonly use GIS for other geospatial and geostatistical information, to plan wireless broadband systems using GIS. An Indoor Positioning Experiment is also conducted to see if apriori knowledge of a building size, location, shape, and number of floors can aid in the RF geolocation of a target indoors. The experiment shows that correction of a target to within a building's boundaries reduces the location error of the target, and the vertical error is reduced by nearly half.
