microADSB-WiFi receiver v.2

Decoder adsbPIC hardware with firmware version 14 An ADS-B -receiver system can be used as virtual radar to generate a live picture of the air traffic. It consists from 5 stages: 1.Reception ADS-B antenna 2.1090 MHz receiver 5 3. Decoder 4. TCP/IP interface and Wi-Fi 5.PC-software Fig.1 ADS-B receiver 1. The antenna has to receive the 1090 MHz radiation and to convert it into an electric UHF-signal. 2. The receiver selects, amplifies and demodulates the received signals, and generates an analog signal. 3. The decoder converts analog into digital and detects ADS-B transmissions inside digital signal. 4. The ADS-B signals are then forwarded to a PC via Wi-Fi ETERNET connection. 5. The PC decodes the ADS-B information and generate the virtual radar display. It may support the exchange of ADSB-data via the internet. This handbook is focused on the microADSB-W iF i and the PCsoftware ADSBScope or PlanePloter.   3 Antenna 1090MHz Vertical polarized antenna with 50 Ohm impedance, tuned to 1090 MHz, have to be used at the ADS-B side of the receiver. Appropriate model offered by Anteni.Net Ltd is MS10905: outdoor, omni-directional , collinear, DC grounded, 5db gain (www.microADSB.com). *microADSB-WiFi v2 option 3 includes such antenna in the set *microADSB-WiFi v2 option 2 DOES NOT include ADS-B antenna The antenna has to be placed as high as possible at a location with a good ‘view’ into all directions.
