"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
- Execute ADSB_Encoder.py all the options have defaults so none are needed to generate with defaults. Running help will show you the optiosn you can change:
$ ADSB_Encoder.py
$ ADSB_Encoder.py -h
Usage: ADSB_Encoder.py [options]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i ICAO, --icao=ICAO The ICAO number for the plane in hex. Ensure the ICAO
is prefixed with '0x' to ensure this is parsed as a
hex number. Default: 0xABCDEF
--lat=LATITUDE, --latitude=LATITUDE
Latitude for the plane in decminal degrees. Default:
12.34
--lon=LONGITUDE, --long=LONGITUDE, --longitude=LONGITUDE
Longitude for the place in decminal degrees. Default:
56.78
-a ALTITUDE, --alt=ALTITUDE, --altitude=ALTITUDE
Altitude in decminal feet. Default: 9876.5
--ca=CAPABILITY, --capability=CAPABILITY
The capability. (Think this is always 5 from ADSB
messages. More info would be appreciate). Default: 5
--tc=TYPECODE, --typecode=TYPECODE
The type for the ADSB messsage. See https://adsb-
decode-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/content/introduc
tion.html#ads-b-message-types for more information.
Default: 11
--ss=SURVEILLANCESTATUS, --surveillancestatus=SURVEILLANCESTATUS
The surveillance status. (Think this is always 0 from
ADSB messages. More info would be appreciate).
Default: 0
--nicsb=NICSUPPLEMENTB, --nicsupplementb=NICSUPPLEMENTB
The NIC supplement-B.(Think this is always 0 from
ADSB messages. More info would be appreciate).
Default: 0
--time=TIME The time. (Think this is always 0 from ADSB messages.
More info would be appreciate). Default: 0
-s SURFACE, --surface=SURFACE
If the plane is on the ground or not. Default: False
-o OUTPUTFILENAME, --out=OUTPUTFILENAME, --output=OUTPUTFILENAME
The iq8s output filename. This is the file which you
will feed into the hackRF. Default: Samples_256K.iq8s
- 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
User cancel, exiting...

$
- -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
