MLAT1290 (Multi Late Ration) is a surveillance system that receives and locates transponder and other transmissions radiating from aircraft on various frequencies, typically 1090 MHz the frequency used by IFF, SSR, Mode S and ADS-B transponders. Nowadays, these same techniques are used for larger areas such as en-route or approach areas. Such systems are called Wide Area MLAT (WAM) systems.
- An MLAT system detects, locates, and identifies cooperating targets by receiving and processing suitable signals emitted by on-board transponder devices, according to the SSR international standards. In MLAT systems, receiving stations are placed in some strategic locations around the area to be covered.
