A Reliable Separation Algorithm of ADS-B Signal Based on Time Domain

Abstract

With the development of Aerospace Science and technology, automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast has become a core technique in the field of air surveillance. Installing ADS-B receiver on LEO satellite can solve the problem of small coverage of ground receiver, to realize global coverage and monitoring. However, the satellite ADS-B system is faced with serious collision and overlap problems, which has a serious impact on the signal decoding, leading to the wrong decoding or even loss of important information. In this paper, a time-domain ADS-B blind signal separation algorithm is proposed. When there is a certain power difference between the two source signals, the overlap signals are offset by the high-power signal and low-power signal to get the corresponding cancellation signals. According to the superposition mode of different pulses, different bit decision results are obtained according to the amplitude, to recover the source signal. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is feasible and has a lower bit error rate.
