It works by sending out a continuous data signal, identifying the aircraft. This is picked up by equipment at the control tower and overlaid onto the radar screen. The data shows the aircraft's individual ID, it's height and speed.
Not ALL aircraft are fitted with transponders - small planes, micro-lights and hang-gliders don't normally have the equipment. They have to contact the control tower by radio, and identify their aircraft. This info is then manually inserted onto the radar image.

Does the Rocky Mountain RMR-C430-6 Radar Detector work at any speed?
Yes, the RMR-C430-6 Radar Detector will work at any speed.
What do cell phone and radar both work using?
Radio waves
How does stealth technology work?
The goal of stealth technology is to make an airplane invisible to radar. There are two different ways to create invisibility:The airplane can be shaped so that any radar signals it reflects are reflected away from the radar equipment.The airplane can be covered in materials that absorb radar signals.
What is the different between primary and secondary RADAR?
the primary radar mostly we used for air traffic control and other civil society work but this primary radar will not cover the whole requirement data. But secondary radar system will give all the details which we required Also mostly we used for it for security purpose and we can take the IFF and SSR from this secondary
Does the phantom radar app on the ipjone work?
Yes and every dot is a ghost trying to kill you
What is the name of a secondary radar system?
Secondary radar system are known as "Interrogator/Transponders" and are cooperative radar systems. The Interrogator transmits a pulse pattern that signals the kind of response they are looking for transponders that receive it. The transponder replies with a pulse pattern on a different frequency. Transponders can also carrier coded information that give more then just there position. Most typical transponder system is associated with Air Traffic Control Radar. Air Traffic Control systems integrate the primary radar return (non-cooperative return) with the position and coded data from the secondary radar (cooperative return) that will also provide flight information like Squawk code (a Unique ID) altitudes speed position etc. The maritime equivalent has three equivalents SART (Search and Rescue Transponder), Racon Buoys (Navigation transponders that respond to maritime radar pulse width) and a systems that is not really radar but is VHF transmission and is called AIS (Automatic Identification System) but perform similar information to the ATC system. However when the term Secondary Radar is used it almost always means ATC Interrogator Transponder system or the military version system.
What are delay transponders in satellite communication?
sattelite bandwidth is broken into segments called transponders
What do transponders on aircrafts do?
They do a few different things these days but their primary role is that of radar. The use of radar that flies from a station, hits the aircraft and bounces back to the station is very limited. In most normal situations the ground station sends out a signal. The transponder receives the signal and transmits the return signal. It allows for greater range of the radar and also allows extra info to be passed to the radar controller like height and aircraft ID. This is known as Secondary Radar.
How does a cobra detector work?
A cobra detector is a radar detector. Radar detectors work the same way a radio receiver does. The radar detector looks for frequencies that a radar gun uses.
Will jammer work for laser radar?
Yes the Rocky Mountain Radar RMR-C435 Radar and Laser Jammer does.
How does a police radar work?
i don't the answer
How do police do vehicle tracking?
Police can only legally track a vehicle with a court order or in cooperation with the owner. This is done by GPS transponders and Cellphone transponders which pinpoint the vehicle by triangulation.
Do radar detectors work?
Yes, but not as well as we wish they would work! Don't depend 100% on a radar detector. There are a number of related questions and answers on WikiAnswers on radar and speed control. A link is provided.
Can sonar work in air?
NO. We call that radar.
How do one get Channels found on Fortec Star 5600 II that are not found on forteck star mercury decoder?
This happens because there are new transponders that are not programmed in your receiver. You need to edit your sat (from the receiver) to add the missing transponders. then do a channels search. there are many good WEB sites listing the up-to-date transponders. check them against your receiver.
Would radar and or radio work in outerspace?
Of course it will.
Does the Rocky Mountain RMR-C430-6 Radar Detector work at any speed?
Yes, the RMR-C430-6 Radar Detector will work at any speed.
