Abstract: The present invention relates to a secondary radar capable of separating all responses originating from different aircraft. When several aircraft send the conventional secondary radar simultaneous responses whose bits interfere, the conventional processing does not allow these responses to be separated, and it is then impossible to get on with identifying and locating the aircraft.   The subject of the invention is a secondary radar equipped, in its reception chain conventionally carrying out coherent demodulation and digitisation of the signals X(t) received, with a device for analysis into independent components. This device first of all carries out an orthonormalisation processing (1) for the digitised signals received, then a rotation processing (5) making it possible to recover the independent signals, and consequently to identify the sending aircraft. The two processings also allow the secondary radar to fulfil its function of locating aircraft. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing large-area matrix-configured display screens of the active-matrix type, the switching elements of which, serving to control each pixel (picture element), are constituted from a ceramic composition having a non-linear current-voltage characteristic. The method consists in producing, on a substrate (1), a network of electrodes (E1 to E3) and a network of conducting surfaces (A1 to A9) or metallisations each delimiting one pixel (picture element), then in connecting the metallisations to the electrodes via the switching elements (EC1 to EC9). In accordance with the invention, the switching elements (EC1 to EC9) are obtained by producing a suspension of grains (31) of the ceramic composition above the substrate (1) and letting these grains settle on the substrate due to the effect of gravity. The invention applies in a particularly advantageous manner to the manufacture of screens of the liquid-crystal type. <IMAGE>
