What is NOT performed by the receiver section of the transponder?

The receiver section of a transponder is primarily responsible for receiving signals, converting them from analog to digital format, and then processing these signals to respond appropriately. Thus, the function of processing replies for display is not part of the receiver's responsibilities. Instead, processing often occurs in later stages or sections of the transponder, where the data is formatted or prepared for display once it has been received and decoded.

The other functions—such as receiving signals and converting them from analog to digital—are crucial roles played by the receiver section. Transmission of signals, while essential for the overall operation of the transponder, is typically categorized under the transmitter section rather than the receiver section. Understanding the distinct functions of these sections helps clarify why processing replies for display specifically does not occur in the receiver's domain.
