Abstract: The ITAT technique, embodied in ITAT hardware, provides a means to add additional operating modes to interrogator-transponder (beacon) systems in a relatively simple and economical manner. The technique permits the adding of special modulation to the normal pulse-coded transmissions for the purpose of providing a security identification code, or a digital wavefore enabling high processing gain, or both.Two similarly designed ITAT units are required; one for interrogator systems, and one for transponder systems. Both units simply connect between the respective system units and the system antennas.The ITAT units operate in two modes; "Normal" and "ITAT." In the normal mode, the units do not interfere with operation of the transponder-interrogator (beacon) system. In the ITAT mode, the units suppress the beacon system operating range by introducing attenuation between the interrogator unit (or transponder unit) and the antenna. In effect, normal operation is blocked during ITAT operation.
