If two aircraft on one bearing are close enough in slant range, their replies can overlap because of their simultaneity. This condition is known as synchronous garbling. It is common to find SSR [Secondary Surveillance Radar] decoders with fast dual registers operated by a commutating clock. These enable all but the most severe pulse masking to be tolerated. In view of the dubiety of data under garbled conditions it is common to find data labelled in such a way that garble conditions are indicated to the operator. 1, record 1, English, - degarbling

Tous les radars secondaires travaillant sur 1030 Mhz et le transpondeur renvoyant de façon omnidirectionnelle une réponse sur 1090 Mhz, cette réponse pourra être captée par tous les récepteurs radars secondaires situés dans la zone de rayonnement de l'émetteur de bord. Ainsi le récepteur d'une station B pourra détecter une réponse à une interrogation d'une autre station A dès l'instant où la cible C est dans la zone de recouvrement des couvertures de A et de B [...] Cette réponse qui n'a pas de relations avec les interrogations successives de la station B est appelée: réponse asynchrone ou fruit. 2, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9ponse%20asynchrone
