Abstract:
An aircraft traffic system is provided that includes a primary antenna operable to generate interrogation signals and receive interrogation replies from other aircraft. The system additionally includes a secondary antenna configured as a tuned absorber having a matched impedance to at least partially absorb reflections of the interrogation signals or interrogation replies utilized by the primary antenna.
