A secondary radar transponder was fabricated as part of a feasibility test of a concept for increasing flight safety near airports by the mandatory use of low-powered transponders on all light aircraft. A detailed description is provided of the design and fabrication of the all-solid-state developmental transponder. Seven flight trials of the equipment support the conclusion that a low-powered transponder would greatly reduce the light aircraft problem near airports. (Author)
