What is Radar Principles: PSR & SSR Overview about?

The document provides information on primary surveillance radar (PSR) and secondary surveillance radar (SSR). PSR detects aircraft by emitting radio pulses and analyzing returning echoes, providing range and bearing but no additional data. SSR detects aircraft by interrogating onboard transponders, receiving aircraft codes and other data like altitude. Both systems have limitations but combining them mitigates issues like not detecting aircraft without transponders or in overlapping positions.
