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 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


What type of radar used in air traffic control?

Primary and secondary radar are commonly used in air traffic control. Primary radar detects the presence of aircraft by sending out radio waves and measuring the time it takes for the signal to bounce back. Secondary radar relies on transponders installed on aircraft to send out a signal that is received by the ground radar system, providing more detailed information about the aircraft's identity and altitude.

How do you use a Radar?

That depends on the particular radar system. A simple speed radar used by law enforcement can simply be held and pointed at a target to determine the speed of the target. A more complex system like an air traffic control radar system would have display consoles for the radar operator to view the data.
