  • AUTOMATIC DEPENDANT SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20120112950
    Abstract: A communications system including an automated dependant surveillance-broadcast system and a global positioning system integrated into a single unit. A radio frequency receiver receives analog automated dependent surveillance-broadcast information at a selected transmission frequency and converts that information into digital form. A global positioning system receiver receives global positioning information including timing information. A processing subsystem decodes the digitized automated dependent surveillance-broadcast information in response to the timing information received by the global positioning system receiver.
    Type: Application
