ADS-B jamming mitigation: a solution based on a multichannel receiver

Abstract

The Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) system is one of the major surveillance systems for air traffic management, providing identity, position, and status information of all cooperating aircraft. It is being used more and more frequently in modern air traffic management [1]-[4]. The ADS-B is a dependent and cooperative surveillance system used for air traffic control in which aircraft and surface vehicles periodically transmit their own information to any equipped listener for surveillance scope. The ADS-B system is one of the pillars of future air traffic systems and estimates suggest that about 80% of all commercial aircraft are now equipped with ADS-B transponders.
