gr-air-modes

gr-air-modes implements a software-defined radio receiver for Mode S transponder signals, including ADS-B reports from equipped aircraft.

Interesting files and libraries included with the package:

• apps/modes_rx: The main application.
• apps/get_correlated_records.py: Demonstration program for computing multilaterated time error for two unsynchronized receiver stations.
• lib/air_modes_int_and_dump.cc: Unused integrate-and-dump filter for demodulating Mode S waveforms.
• lib/air_modes_preamble.cc: Mode S preamble detector.
• lib/air_modes_slicer.cc: Bit slicer (1 vs 0) and packet aggregator.
• lib/modes_crc.cc: Computes parity check for Mode S packets.
• python/altitude.py: Mode S altitude encoding/decoding routines
• python/cpr.py: Compact Position Reporting encoder/decoder
• python/modes_flightgear.py: FlightGear (open-source flight simulator) plugin which inserts live traffic into the simulator via the multiplayer interface.
• python/mlat.py: Multilateration algorithms for determining position of non-ADS-B-equipped or non-cooperative aircraft using multiple receivers.
• python/modes_kml.py: KML output plugin for Google Earth.
• python/modes_parse.py: Mode S/ADS-B packet parsing routines.
• python/modes_print.py: Human-readable printout plugin
• python/modes_raw_server.py: UDP output plugin for raw data output
• python/modes_sbs1.py: SBS-1-compatible output plugin for use with Virtual Radar Server, PlanePlotter, or other compatible programs.
• python/modes_sql.py: SQLite interface for storing reports in a database.
• python/Quaternion.py: Quaternion library used to calculate orientation of aircraft for FlightGear plugin.
