A Survey on Airborne ADS-B Technology and Its Development Trend

Abstract

With the development and wide application of automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) technology, there have been emerging many ADS-B manufacturers who have developed a large number of ADS related products with versatile configurations for different airborne platforms. This paper firstly categorizes the diverse ADS-B products with respect to configuration and intended platform, and then, analyzes the functional and technical characteristics of the ADS-B products designed for airlines, general aviation, and unmanned aircraft system (UAS). Finally, this paper analyzes and discusses the countermeasures to the challenging problems of ADS-B system including information security, enhanced reception in dense jamming environment, as well as 1090ES channel capacity improvement.
