Esa-Like And Usb Tone Standards; Frequency Programming - Safran CORTEX CRT Quantum User Manual

ESA-like and USB Tone Standards

3.6.9.
The ESA-like and USB standards differ from the ESA one in that the following parameters are programmable:

Major and minor tone frequencies (P and Q factors),

Number of minor tones (up to 6 for the ESA-like and up to 8 for the USB standard),

Tone transmission rank,

In the USB mode only, the lowest minor tone integration time is the programmed integration time
multiplied by 4, allowing for higher ratio between the two last minor tones (see example in section
3.6.9.4: the ratio between virtual tones # 1 and # 2 is 16) and a higher ambiguity distance due to the
very low frequency of the lowest minor tone.
Next figure illustrates a USB ranging sequence with the lowest minor tone being transmitted first):

3.6.9.1. Frequency Programming

The major tone frequency is programmable according to the following rule (in kHz):
with the restrictions described in § 3.6.2.1.
The minor tone frequencies are programmable according to the following rule (in kHz):
with the restrictions described in § 3.6.2.2.
