Abstract
1,196,191. Transponders. C. E. QUIGLEY. 27 May, 1968 [26 May, 1967], No. 25156/68. Heading H4L. A transponder, particularly for use on aircraft, is provided with two aerial systems which are selectively connected to the transponder transmitter so that the coded reply signal is radiated by the aerial receiving the strongest interrogation signal. In one arrangement, Fig. 1, top aerial 10 and bottom aerial 12 are connected to conventional transponders 14, 16 respectively, the outputs of the video amplifiers 20, 32 of the receivers 18, 30 being supplied to a comparator 42. Usually the bottom aerial 12 receives the stronger interrogation signal, the comparator 42 has no effect, and the signal from the corresponding decoder 34 is supplied via a pulse generator 54 to trigger the encoder 36 to initiate a reply signal via aerial 12. Pulse generator 54 also supplies a signal to stop the decoder 22 in the top transponder. If the top aerial 10 should receive the stronger signal, the comparator 42 supplies an output to open a gate 44 to allow the output of the corresponding decoder 22 to energize a pulse generator 46 which supplies a signal to trigger the encoder 24. The output of the pulse generator also suppresses the decoder 34 and via inverter 28 inhibits gate 50 to prevent the transponder 16 from transmitting. In a modification the transponder 16 is normally operative and the transponder 14 suppressed, the comparator 42 being dispensed with. Should the signal received by transponder 16 fall below predetermined level the transponder 14 becomes operative and the transponder 16 is suppressed. In further arrangements, a common encoder and decoder is used for the two transponders, switching may take place at the aerials, or a common transmitter may be switched to the selected aerial.
