.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
rtl_adsb \- a simple ADS-B decoder
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
Uses a re-purposed DVB-T receiver as a software defined
|
||
|
|
radio to receive and decode ADS-B data. Written by Kyle Keen
|
||
|
|
and incorporated in the osmocom rtl-sdr project.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast, ADS-B, consists
|
||
|
|
of position and other status data transmitted by aircraft
|
||
|
|
in support of air traffic control in order to improve safety
|
||
|
|
of flight.

Much software is available for the RTL2832. Most of the user-level
|
||
|
|
packages rely on the librtlsdr library which comes as part of the
|
||
|
|
rtl-sdr codebase. This codebase contains both the library itself and
|
||
|
|
also a number of command line tools such as rtl_test, rtl_sdr,
|
||
|
|
rtl_tcp, and rtl_fm. These command line tools use the library to test
|
||
|
|
for the existence of RTL2832 devices and to perform basic data
|
||
|
|
transfer functions to and from the device.
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
Because most of the RTL2832 devices are connected using USB, the
|
||
|
|
librtlsdr library depends on the libusb library to communicate with
|
||
|
|
the device.
|
||
|
|
.SH USAGE
|
||
|
|
With a suitable antenna for receiving the 1090 MHz signal attached
|
||
|
|
to the rtl-sdr supported device, this program will output the
|
||
|
|
data decoded from that signal.
|
||
|
|
