14.13. Transmitter
Summary: This component is used to create a radio that is Transmit Only.
Description: The Transmitter component is an RCU included in the Radio Group.
It is designed to communicate with the Transceiver component to force transmit
capability only. It is a subset of the features and controls located inside RCUbasic.
The benefit of using the Transmitter over the RCUbasic (or other all-purpose
RCUs) is that it charges a reduced number of credits for the reduced functionality.
As a result, the component is useful for replicating Navigational Aids, such as VOR
or NDB Transmitters.
For more information about using RCUs and the Transceiver, see the preface to the
Radio Group and the RCUbasic component.
Control Inputs
CryptoKey
Type Default Value
uint16 0
Description: If two radios are using encryption then they must have
matching crypto keys for the crypto modes. This field must match in
order for proper radio tuning.
FreqHop
NetID
Type Default Value
uint16 0
Description: Identifies the frequency hopping Net ID. A frequency
hopping radio must have a non-zero Net ID to be considered
actively hopping.
FreqHopS
yncTOD
Type Default Value
uint32 0
Description: Identifies the Time of Day used in frequency hopping.
Control Inputs
FreqHop-
Tran-
SecKey
Type Default Value
uint16 0
Description: Identifies the transmission security key used in gener-
ating hopping patterns.
FreqHo-
pHopSet-
WOD
Type Default Value
uint16 0
Description: Identifies the set of frequencies used in hopping pat-
tern.
FreqHop-
Lock-
OutID
Type Default Value
uint16 0
Description: Identifies the set of frequencies that are excluded from
hopping pattern.
Frequency
Type Default Value
uint64 0
Description: The current transmitter tune frequency in Hz.
Net
Type Default Value
uint32 1
Description: Net defines the core radio features including fre-
quency, Tx frequency, waveform, crypto, and frequency hopping.
The Net parameters are set in the Comm Plan.
TxPower
Type Default Value
float32 1.0
Description: Sets the transmit power for the Transmitter.
