  • Device and system for the reception of ADS-B messages by an orbiting satellite
    Patent number: 11695471
    Abstract: A device for the reception of ADS-B messages for a satellite is disclosed including an array of sources and a beamforming module, a ground footprint of a field of view defining a service area, different service areas being associated with different positions of the satellite, a ground footprint of a beam defining a spot in the service area, the beamforming module being configured to form each beam by applying combination coefficients, the reception device having a processing circuit configured to obtain information representative of a position of the satellite and to modify a set of combination coefficients so as to adapt the surface area and/or or the shape of the formed spots to a geographical distribution of the aircrafts within the service area associated with the position of the satellite.
