About
The next generation RF chain with Improved Demodulator Sensitivity, Telemetry Engine and Squitter Counter with an ASCII output via serial UART channel is a compact solution including antenna array with No Deployables! Are you still using SDR-based high data rate sampling ADCs just draining energy from the battery which then all need cooling? SDR-based receivers and decoders are brilliant in their versatility, reconfigurability and amount of features that can be adapted to. But, they naturally consume much more power than necessary. piADSB-NG is based on a standalone, dedicated RF chain solution, requesting only that energy really necessary to monitor the ADS-B L-Band 1090 MHz Air Traffic! A bonus is non-deployable antenna array – no risk of deployment failure. Whether you’re training the next generation of Air Traffic Control (ATC) specialists, building your own private aircraft-tracking constellation, or launching a revolutionary university search and rescue (SAR) mission – everything is now possible with piADSB-NG!
