Another Transponder Question

A transponder obviously cannot respond on the same frequency as that of the interrogating signal. Is there a fixed frequency offset to the ground signal for aircraft transponders?

For space vehicles there is evidently a 240/221 relationship to the relative frequencies to somehow enhance accurate ranging by detectable doppler shift.
