Predictions of Self-Interference in the Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System.

Abstract

Recently interest has been renewed on the likely effects of universal transponder equipage on the Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System. A review of several studies shows that the impact on asynchronous fruit and reply probability are under control so long as planned improvements (especially new interrogator antennas) are undertaken. A more serious impact is expected to be encountered with synchronous garble.
