Transponder (aviation)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Main page

A transponder (short-for transmitter-responder[1] and sometimes abbreviated to XPDR,[2]

XPNDR,[3] TPDR[4] or TP[5]) is an electronic device that produces a response when it receives a
radio-frequency interrogation. Aircraft have transponders to assist in identifying them on radar and

Transponder

Air traffic control units use the term "squawk" when they are assigning an aircraft a transponder
code, e.g., "Squawk 7421". Squawk or squawking thus can be said to mean "select transponder
code" or "I have selected transponder code xxxx".[6]

The aviation transponder was originally developed during World War II by the British and American military as an "Identification friend or
foe" (IFF) system to differentiate friendly from enemy aircraft on radar. The concept became a core of NORAD technology in the defence of North

America during the Cold War.[citation needed]

This concept was adapted in the 1950s by civil air traffic control using secondary surveillance radar (beacon radar) systems to provide traffic
services for general aviation and commercial aviation.

Secondary Surveillance Radar

[edit]

Main article: Secondary surveillance radar

Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) is referred to as "secondary", to distinguish it from the "primary radar" that works by passively bouncing a
radio signal off the skin of the aircraft. Primary radar determines range and bearing to a target with reasonably high fidelity, but it cannot
determine target elevation (altitude) reliably except for at close range. SSR uses an active transponder (beacon) to transmit a response
whenever it senses the beam of the primary radar hitting the aircraft. This response most often includes the aircraft's pressure altitude and a 4digit octal identifier.[7][8]

Operation

[edit]

Trke
Suomi

A pilot may be requested to squawk a given code by the air traffic controller via the radio, using a phrase such as "Cessna 123AB, squawk
0363". The pilot then selects the 0363 code on their transponder and the track on the radar screen of the air traffic controller will become
correctly associated with their identity.[6][7]
Because primary radar generally gives bearing and range position information, but lacks altitude information, mode C and mode S transponders
also report pressure altitude. Some lower-end altimeters do not normally have a built in encoder and so a modified Gray code, called a Gillham
code, is used to pass altitude information to the transponder. Around busy airspace there is often a regulatory requirement that all aircraft be
equipped with an altitude-reporting mode C or mode S transponders. In the United States, this is known as a Mode C veil. Mode S transponders
are compatible with transmitting the mode C signal, and have the capability to report in 25 foot increments. Without the pressure altitude
reporting, the air traffic controller has no display of accurate altitude information, and must rely on the altitude reported by the pilot via radio.[6][7]
Similarly, the Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) installed on large aircraft needs the altitude information supplied by transponder
signals.

Ident

[edit]

All mode A, C, and S transponders include an "IDENT" button, which activates a special thirteenth bit on the mode A reply known as IDENT,
short for "identify"". When radar equipment receives the IDENT bit, it results in the aircraft's blip "blossoming" on the radar scope. This is often
used by the controller to locate the aircraft amongst others by requesting the ident function from the pilot, e.g., "Cessna 123AB, squawk 0363
and ident".[6][7]
Ident can also be used in case of a reported or suspected radio failure to determine if the failure is only one way and whether the pilot can still
transmit or receive, but not both, e.g., "Cessna 123AB, if you read, squawk ident".[7]

Transponder codes

[edit]

Transponder codes are four digit numbers transmitted by the transponder in an aircraft in response to a secondary surveillance radar
interrogation signal to assist air traffic controllers in traffic separation. A discrete transponder code (often called a squawk code) is assigned by
air traffic controllers to uniquely identify an aircraft. This allows easy identification of aircraft on radar.[6][7]
Squawk codes are four-digit octal numbers; the dials on a transponder read from zero to seven, inclusive. Thus the lowest possible squawk is
0000 and the highest is 7777. Four octal digits can represent up to 4096 different codes, which is why such transponders are often called "4096
code transponders." Care must be taken not to squawk any emergency code during a code change. For example, when changing from 1200 to
6501 (an assigned ATC squawk), one might turn the second wheel to a 5 (thus 1500), and then rotate the first wheel backwards in the sequence
1-0-7-6 to get to 6. This would momentarily have the transponder squawking a hijack code (7500), which might lead to more attention than one
desires. Pilots are instructed not to place the transponder in "standby mode" while changing the codes, as it causes the loss of target
information on the ATC radar screen, but instead to carefully change codes to avoid inadvertently selecting an emergency code. Additionally,
modern digital transponders are operated by buttons to avoid this problem.[6][7]
The use of the word "squawk" comes from the system's origin in the World War II Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system, which was codenamed "Parrot".[9][10]

Codes assigned by ATC

[edit]

Most codes above can be selected by aircraft if and when the situation requires or allows it, without permission from ATC. Other codes are
generally assigned by ATC units.[6][7] For IFR flights, the squawk code is typically assigned as part of the departure clearance and stays the
same throughout the flight.[6][7]
VFR flights, when in uncontrolled airspace, will "squawk VFR" (or conspicuity code in the UK)[21](1200 in the U.S., 7000 in Europe). Upon
contact with an ATC unit, they will be told to squawk a certain unique code. When changing frequency, for instance because the VFR flight
leaves controlled airspace or changes to another ATC unit, the VFR flight will be told to "squawk VFR" again.[6][7]
In order to avoid confusion over assigned squawk codes, ATC units will typically be allocated blocks of squawk codes, not overlapping with the
blocks of nearby ATC units, to assign at their discretion.
NotallATCunitswilluseradartoidentifyaircraft,buttheyassignsquawkcodesnevertheless.Asanexample,LondonInformation the Flight
InformationServicestationthatcoversthelowerhalfoftheUK does not have access to radar images, but does assign squawk code 1177 to
all aircraft that receive a FIS from them. This tells other radar equipped ATC units that that specific aircraft is listening on the London Information
radio frequency, in case they need to contact that aircraft.[21]
