Match the component of a Link 16 timeslot to the correct definition
a) Variable wait time before data pulses are transmitted that contributes to jam
resistance
b) Time allowed for the transmission to travel to potential receivers that determines the
maximum range of point-to-point connectivity
c) Contains the majority of information and is made up of 186 or 372 pulses depending
on packing structure
d) Consists of 72 pulses and provides time refinement and timeslot specific information
such as timeslot and message type - Correct Answers -wrong:
