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 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.


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 is radar communication?

Radar communication is electronic communication without the use of wires. Radar communication can be between a ground terminal, like a cell tower, and a satellite. Or it can be between ground towers and also between two or more satellites.


May non radar tower controller use radar separtion between departure aircraft?

No. They don't have a radar repeater. Strictly visual.


What does the scrambler feature on the Rocky Mountain Radar RMR-C435 Laser/Radar Detector really do?

The Rocky Mountain Radar RMR-C435 scrambler takes a radar pulse and "bounces" it around, so that it appears as if it's coming from a different location at a different speed.


What's the difference between a Radar Detector and a Radar Jammer?

A radar detector can passively indicate the presence of speed detecting equipment. A radar jammer actively disrupts speed detecting equipment.


What is the different of a telescope and radar?

Radar is used to track things, while the telescope can only magnify or see things from a far distance. Radar is visible, while a telescope is not. Telescopes are old, radar is new (:
