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.

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.
Does the Rocky Mountain RMR-C430-6 Radar Detector work at any speed?
Yes, the Rocky Mountain RMR-C430-6 Radar Detector can function at any speed as long as it is properly calibrated and operational. However, the effectiveness of radar detectors at high speeds can be influenced by factors such as the strength of the radar signal and the detector's sensitivity.
How does it work radar?
Radar works by sending out radio waves that bounce off objects in its path. By measuring the time it takes for the waves to return, the radar determines the distance and speed of the object. This information is then used to track the object and calculate its location.
Does the phantom radar app on the ipjone work?
The Phantom Radar app is designed for entertainment purposes and does not actually detect ghosts or spirits. It uses random patterns to simulate a radar-like display, creating the illusion of detecting paranormal activity. It is not scientifically proven to work.
How does transponder work?
*"An automatic device that transmits a predetermined message in response to a predefined received signal. * A receiver-transmitter that will generate a reply signal upon proper electronic interrogation. " *Excerpted from Wikipedia ; see related link .
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
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.
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.
Can sonar work in air?
NO. We call that radar.
Would radar and or radio work in outerspace?
Of course it will.
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.
