ABSTRACT:
A system for generating a special calling signal to be transmitted from an aircraft to a ground station comprising two parts of repeated groups of 7-unit binary code signals, each of which parts or groups has a constant ratio of 1 and 0 value bits, but has a different ratio for each part or group. The first part or group comprises alternating signals of "idle time" with two successive signals representing the tens and units digits of the call number of one of a hundred different ground stations to be called. This alternate sequence of tens and units signals is repeated a sufficient number of times so as to avoid any error in the reception of a signal from this part and also to place the receiving ground station in phase and synchronism with the calling station in the aircraft. Then the second part or group of the whole calling signal is transmitted which second part comprises three successive separate message signals which are alternately repeated in succession every fifth signal interval. These three message signals can indicate to the ground station, for example, the sector in which the calling station or aircraft is located, the modulation system to be applied for the traffic to follow, and the identification of the office to which the traffic is to be directed.
