"ADS-B Out" add-on for SoftRF-Emu, Stratux, etc...

This repository contains "ADS-B Out" encoder for Tx-capable SDR hardware.

It is currently written in architecture independent Python language and can be used as an add-on for existing open source "ADS-B In" solutions. One known good example is Stratux.

Instructions

  1. Execute ADSB_Encoder.py script with <ICAO> <Latitude> <Longtitude> <Altitude> arguments:
$ ADSB_Encoder.py  0xABCDEF 12.34 56.78 9999.0
$ ls Samples.iq8s
Samples.iq8s
$
  1. Transmit the signal into air:
$ hackrf_transfer -t Samples_256K.iq8s -f 868000000 -s 2000000 -x 10
call hackrf_sample_rate_set(2000000 Hz/2.000 MHz)
call hackrf_baseband_filter_bandwidth_set(1750000 Hz/1.750 MHz)
call hackrf_set_freq(868000000 Hz/868.000 MHz)
Stop with Ctrl-C
 0.5 MiB / 1.000 sec =  0.5 MiB/second

$
  • -t is the input file to transmit
  • -f is the frequency in hertz. In the real world this would be 1090000000 but do not use that
  • -s is the sample rate in hertz
  • -x is the gain

Validation

$ sudo dump1090 --net --freq 868000000
