Abstract: The basic building and implementing methods of ACARS ground station test environment is introduced. ACARS link layer protocol is analyzed according to ARINC 618 specification, implementing ACARS ground station basic function. First of all, MFC is used to make simulated airborne CMU and simulated ground station DSP on Visio Studio 2013 platform through TCP/IP communication. Simulated airborne CMU and ground station DSP are respectively connected with VHF transceiver software radio platform through serial port to construct a real ACARS communication environment sending and receiving messages. Experiment proves that the simulated ground equipment can realize basic function of real ACARS ground station, and also lay foundation for ACARS radio station localization.
