The Ryan 9900B and 9900BX TCAD systems require a transponder coupler to installed in line with each aircraft transponder on-board. The copler is required to provide a blanking pulse to prevent display of the transponder on-board the aircraft. Other traffic systems such as the L3 Skywatch and Bendix/King KTA-870 that process transponder interrogations and replies do not require transponder couplers.
