Innovative Solutions for the Development of High-Performance ADS-B Receivers

The paper presents innovative scientific engineering solutions for the design and development of optimized Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADSB) receivers. The receiver is an essential part of the aviation surveillance systems which, based on satellites and various onboard sensors, allows finding aircrafts positions and other related data. The development of a high-performance receiver requires a very specific printed circuit board (PCB) design and component selection, to ensure optimal performance, minimal noise, and efficient signal processing. The novelty of the paper resides in the development of dedicated versions of electronic modules destined to function as receivers, offering better performance compared to other existing designs and trying to find an optimum point for solving the compromise between performance and manufacturing costs.
