  • Patent number: 7408498
    Abstract: An interrogation transmission method of a secondary surveillance radar compares prediction angle ranges for transmitting interrogations with a beam-width of an antenna, and transmits the interrogations at every roll-call period if the prediction angle ranges for transmitting interrogations are narrower than the beam-width of the antenna. In contrast, if the prediction angle ranges for transmitting the interrogations are wider than the beam-width of the antenna, the radar respectively sets a period to transmit the interrogations and a period not to transmit the interrogations until responses can be received, and transmits interrogations at every roll-call period after the responses can be received (even if a receiving error or downlink occurs).
