Air Traffic Systems SECONDARY SURVEILLANCE RADAR INTRODUCTION AND BASIC PRINCIPLES
Transmitter Pulses RX & PROCESSING TX Received Signal Timing & Control Radar Picture Basic Primary Radar
DISADVANTAGES OF PRIMARY RADAR • High Power • Clutter Permanent Echo's Weather i.e. Rain etc. • Identification
Basic Secondary Radar Tx 1030 MHz SSR RX & PROCESSING TX Secondary returns Timing & Control Radar Picture 123 ABC Decoder Rx 1090 MHz
Modes and Pulse Spacing 3µs Military A/C Ident - Mode 1 5 µs Military Mission Ident - Mode 2 8 µs Joint Military & Civil A/C Ident - Mode 3/A 17 µs Civil A/C Ident - Mode B 21 µs Altitude Data - Mode C
SSR Questions (Modes) Who are you ? (Mode 1 and 3/A) What is your altitude ? (Mode C) What is your mission number ? (Mode 2) Are you FRIEND or FOE ? (Mode 4)
Mode Interlacing The ability of the system to automatically change modes. This enables more diverse information to be gathered.

MODE S I am able to reply to your “ALL CALL” because I have Mode S 0.5 s This is my discrete address Data block 56 s or 112 s Preamble 8.0 s Bit 1 Bit 2 Bit 3 Bit 4 Bit N 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0.5 s
The future of SSR • Mode S – becoming compulsory under EASA rules • CSSR and MSSR don’t support Mode S
