BXT6500 ADS-B Transponder

Robust, cost-effective, and ADS-B compliant, the BXT6500 transponder series combines unique customer benefits, such as reduced size and weight, durable housing without ventilation slots or forced cooling, antenna diversity or single antenna configurations, digital interfaces, and TCAS compatibility.

The Becker Prime Line 6500 series ADS-B Transponder is the latest CNS product design from Becker Avionics. The system responds to the latest ADS-B requirements and the needs of the industry.

The system is designed for fixed and rotary wing applications and offers many integrated features with less weight and space.

Provided with standard ARINC 429 interfaces, it can easily be part of an integrated avionics system. Simple and durable installation completes the BXT6500 transponder. In addition, it can connect to the ARINC 718-compatible control head of your choice. The BXT6500 can be controlled by a glass cockpit, control unit, dedicated integrated radio tuning units, or a Flight Management System (FMS).

The BXT6500 is a remote-controlled transponder that combines modern processor technology with the reliability and quality of Becker products. It is designed for installation in the avionics compartment. The equipment replies to air traffic control surveillance interrogation, including compliant ADS-B Extended Squitter messages (ES), and supports TCAS coupling. Further, the BXT6500 meets Mode S Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) requirements and provides Downlink of Aircraft Parameters (DAPs). Its smooth surface, without ventilation slots, saves space, increases the product’s reliability, and makes installations more flexible. The dedicated mounting equipment offers a well-suited solution for flexible integrations in various aircraft types.

The antenna diversity (top & bottom) reduces antenna shading and helps to prevent loss of target tracking in all situations. Single antenna versions are also provided.
