Development of a Terrestrial-Based ADS-B Receiver Using a Novel Software Defined Radio Platform

EasyChair Preprint 9603

Abstract

In recent years, ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) has become a new air traffic surveillance technology. The aircraft identifies it position using satellite navigation and transmits it on a regular basis, allowing it to be tracked. This technology is utilized to enhance a variety of aspects for both pilots and air traffic controllers, such as collision avoidance and situational awareness. To reduce the complexity and value of the ADS-B system installation, the system is developed with the help of Software Defined Radio. This wireless communication technology is used to increase flexibility and improve the performance of the system. This project is about developing a Terrestrial-based ADS-B receiver utilizing a novel highly integrated SDR platform, particularly the Totem Motherboard SDR, and GNU Radio as a software development framework. The ultimate goal of this work is to validate the efficiency of the developed Ground-based ADS-B receiver as the first step for designing a Nanosatellite’s SDR payload that acts as a receiver of ADS-B messages transmitted by the aircraft using Totem SDR from Al`en Space as an SDR platform.

Keyphrases: ADS-B, ATC, GNU Radio, SDR, Totem SDR
