GFD1090 ADS-B Ground Receiver For Precise Air Traffic Management
The GFD1090 is an ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) ground receiver designed to capture and decode ADS-B signals from aircraft and ground vehicles (such as those equipped with VAT140 transponders). These receivers are commonly used for air traffic monitoring, flight tracking, and airport ground vehicle surveillance.
Key Features of the GFD1090 ADS-B Receiver
Frequency & Signal Processing
  • 1090 MHz ES (Extended Squitter) Support: Receives ADS-B signals transmitted by aircraft and ground vehicles.
  • Mode S Decoding: Captures Mode S transponder signals for enhanced aircraft tracking.
  • High Sensitivity: Ensures reliable reception even at long ranges or in areas with weak signals.
Data Output & Connectivity
  • SBS (BaseStation) Protocol: Compatible with popular flight tracking software like Virtual Radar Server, PlanePlotter, and FlightAware.
  • TCP/IP & UDP Streaming: Can send real-time ADS-B data over a network for remote monitoring.
  • Serial (RS-232) or USB Output: Allows direct connection to a PC or Raspberry Pi for decoding.
Applications
  • Air Traffic Monitoring: Used by hobbyists, aviation enthusiasts, and small airports to track aircraft.
  • Airport Ground Vehicle Tracking: Works with vehicle transponders (like VAT140) to monitor ground traffic.
  • Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Detection: Helps detect drones and other low-altitude aircraft.
Antenna & Installation
  • External Antenna Support: Typically requires a 1090 MHz ADS-B antenna for optimal performance.
  • Plug-and-Play Setup: Easy to install with minimal configuration.

Typical Setup with GFD1090
  1. Connect Antenna: Attach a 1090 MHz ADS-B antenna (e.g., a collinear antenna).
  2. Power & Data Connection: Use USB or RS-232 to connect to a PC/Raspberry Pi.
Software Configuration: Use tools like:
  • Virtual Radar Server (Windows)
  • dump1090 (Linux/Raspberry Pi)
  • FlightAware/PFRADAR (for feeding data to networks)
Conclusion
The GFD1090 is a dedicated ADS-B ground receiver suitable for reliable aircraft and ground vehicle tracking. If you're setting up an ADS-B station for aviation monitoring or integrating it with vehicle transponders (like VAT140), this receiver provides a stable and high-performance solution.
