    Thread moved to electrical & electronics engineering section for better responses 😀

    Transponder stands for Transmitter & Responder. C-Band transponders are specifically used in RADAR communications. There's a wikipedia link <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/FPS-16" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">An/Fps 16</a> but I guess a communications engineer would be able to explain it to us. 😀
