ADS-B receiver (ASHP hardware-software complex)
Complex composition
The ADS-B receiver (ASHP complex) is designed to receive data from general aviation. The complex receives ADS-B signals from aircraft, performs primary processing and flight-parameter display, and delivers data to the Aqueduct software.
- ADS-B reception from general aviation
- Aircraft parameter display in ADSB 5.2 software
- Integration with Aqueduct software
Preparing the ASHP complex for operation includes:
- checking the complex components according to the breakdown diagram;
- removing all packaging elements and protective plugs;
- mounting the antenna indoors or outdoors;
- installing the ADS-B housing on the panel;
- connecting and securing the network cable to the antenna and the complex housing;
- connecting the USB adapter to the computer and the complex;
- installing the specialized software into the computer root directory under the name ADSB 5.2.
Start the application software in a terminal from the ADSB working directory: ./run_adsb.sh
On successful start, the working window appears in the terminal:
The working window shows the following fields:
- Hex — hexadecimal record number;
- Flight — flight number;
- Altitude — flight altitude in feet;
- Speed — aircraft speed in knots;
- Lat — latitude in degrees;
- Lon — longitude in degrees;
- Track — track/record number;
- Messages — messages;
- Seen — observation time interval.
When aircraft signals are detected, reception information appears. In the urban environment of Saint Petersburg, detection typically occurs when the aircraft approaches closer than 40 km to an indoor antenna. If interference is present or EW means are operating, aircraft signals are not detected.
With a stable signal and the aircraft approaching the antenna, a full aircraft formulary is formed:
Aircraft signal detection can be verified via the FlightRadar website. Hovering the mouse over an aircraft icon on the FlightRadar map shows the Flight field value, which is compared with the same field on the ASHP software screen. A match confirms correct ASHP operation.
