  • Secondary radar improving aerial safety via very-long-range ADS-B detection
    Patent number: 11867796
    Abstract: The secondary radar includes an antenna having a radiation pattern forming a sum channel, designated SUM, a radiation pattern forming a difference channel, designated DIFF, and a pattern forming a control channel, designated CONT, the targets are located by implementing the following steps: detecting ADS-B squitters received via the CONT channel, via the SUM channel and via the DIFF channel; measuring at least the power of the squitters and their azimuth with respect to the radar; the location of a target transmitting ADS-B squitters being computed by exploiting at least the detection of one ADS-B squitter, in light of the latitudinal and longitudinal position of the radar and of the azimuthal measurement with respect to the radar, the position cell, designated the CPR cell, coded in the squitter being selected via the azimuthal measurement.
