Passive direction finder for ADS-B/MLAT systems support and their accuracy enhancement
Provider: Ministerstvo průmyslu a obchodu
Programme: TRIO (2016-2021)
Implementation period: 01.07.16 - 31.12.19
Workplace:
Fakulta elektrotechniky a informatiky - Katedra elektroniky a rádiových systémů
Investigator: Bezoušek PavelTeam member: Zálabský Tomáš
Description:
The goal of the project is functional prototype of the ground station for passive evaluation of the azimuth and the elevation of the transponder equipped aircraft. The equipment will be based on adaptive multi beam and MIMO antenna system. It will use the latest microelectronic parts including the new generations of programmable gate arrays (FPGA). It will provide independent information about the airtraffic situation and it will enhance operational parameters existing passive surveillance systems (ADS-B, MLAT) by independent evaluation of target elevation. The equipment will significantly help with implementing the ADS-B system as leading future navigation technology and also will help with overcoming technical constraints. These main constraints are jamming of the satellite navigation system and spoofing the ADS-B position information. The equipment will be designed for outdoor operation and also for using in the mobile systems.
