A radar system using reflected signals to detect objects.

The principle that underlies radar by reflecting signals.

Transmitter, Antenna, Receiver, and Radar Display.

Generates and broadcasts radio energy pulses.

Focuses, broadcasts signals, and collects echoes.

Amplifies and converts reflected signals into video.

The area directly above the antenna that cannot be detected.

Shows the position and movement of detected objects.

A ground-based transmitter that generates radio signals to request replies from transponders.

An aircraft device that receives signals from the interrogator and replies with an assigned code.

Processes the replies from transponders and sends them to the radar display.

Indicates aircraft has DME and altitude reporting capability.

Indicates the aircraft has altitude reporting capability only.

Radar that relies on transponders onboard aircraft for information.

Electronically displayed map showing aviation information.

Navigational aid used for guiding aircraft.

Defined limits for different air traffic zones.

Lowest altitude for safe navigation under radar control.

Designated location for aircraft to report position.

Any object that might interfere with aircraft navigation.

A device that detects objects by measuring radio pulse time intervals.

Air Traffic Control, responsible for managing air traffic safety and efficiency.

A short burst of radio waves that radar systems send out.

The angle or direction of an object from a reference point.

The height of an object relative to a reference point, usually ground level.

A digitized radar display that depicts weather conditions to ATC.

Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System, a type of secondary radar.

Ground site that sends signals and receives replies from transponders.

Aircraft equipment that transmits position and speed data to ATC.

Equipment that receives data from other aircraft's ADS-B Out systems.

Requirement for U.S. aircraft to equip with ADS-B Out by January 1, 2020.

Continuous tracking of aircraft position and status using ADS-B.

Improved mission effectiveness due to more precise aircraft tracking.
