    Secondary Surveillance Radar is used for air traffic control and aircraft identification. It works in the UHF band, with ground equipment transmitting interrogator signals at 1030MHz and aircraft equipment responding with coded pulses at 1090MHz. Mode A is for identification while Mode B is for standby. Mode C provides identification and altitude in 100ft increments. Mode S can perform all functions and transfer more data accurately in 25ft increments from the flight management system.

    Secondary Surveillance Radar Purpose: It is secondary Radar which is used for identification and ATC (Air Traffic Control).

    Principle: Ground equipment interrogates in mode pulses and a/c responds in code pulses.

    Frequency: Ground equipment = 1030MHz Aircraft equipment = 1090MHz It works in UHF band. Mode A: Mode B: For Identification Standby for mode A 8s 17s

    Mode C: For identification and Altitude information with respect to standard altimeter setting 1013.2 in steps 100ft (Pressure altitude or Flight Level) Mode S: It can perform all function of mode C. It can handle large data from FMS (Flight Management System). And it can is in steps of 25 (More accurate).

    Note: - Mode C or Mode S not to be used, if accuracy is more than 200

    Ident Identification. BITE Built In Test Equipment.

    Codes with specific Meanings: 7500 Unlawful Interference (Hijack). 7600 Communication Failure. 7700 Distress / Emergency 2000 No code allotted / Crossing FIR. 0000 Transponder failure. 7600 / 2000 Communication failure / No code is allotted.

    BITE (Built In Test Equipment): (i) (ii) It is press to test button and when it is pressed, an internal check of system is performed. And if the circuit is working normally, Amber light will remain for 15 to 20 sec and then goes off. This indicates that transponder is working normally. If the light is remaining on the system, it indicates system is unserviceable.

    (iii)

    Fruiting: When a/c is within two or more SSR range it causes interference with other station while replying simultaneously to other station. This can be prevented by allotting different PRFs to adjacent station.

    Garbling: When two or more a/c flying in proximity range to each other, they may cause interference with ground station with overlapping response. This can be reduced by killer circuit.

    Note: - There is no fruiting and Garbling in MODE S
