Zusammenfassung:A system is provided for passively producing at least two distinct signal patterns. The system can be used for passively identifying friend or foe in an environment and operates in a hyper spectral mode that accommodates multiple bands simultaneously. Exemplary embodiments receive radiated energy within a resonant cavity, and use an absorber and a reflector to absorb and reflect desired frequencies of the incoming energy. A controller is connected to the IFF system and controls the switching back and forth between the absorber and the reflector to produce a signal having a desired data format. The encoded data can be used to determine the status of the candidate target.
