Transponder Reply Limiting

Abstract

The concept of causing the transponder to limit the number of replies it will make or the rate at which it will transmit them under various circumstances is explored qualitatively. It is shown that reply limiting by transponders is a potentially valuable means of improving radar-beacon system traffic capacity and reliability. Recommendations are made for more detailed studies of reply-limiting techniques so that the most effective and/or most efficient or least expensive ones can be chosen for use. (Author)
