CORE TECHNOLOGY
What Is an ADS-B Receiver?
DATA DECODED FROM EACH BROADCAST
An Aircraft Identification
ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadc Unique ICAO 24-bit address and call sign
ast)
 receiver is a surveillance device that listens for and Position
decodes position and identity broadcasts transmitted by Latitude and longitude from onboard navigation
aircraft, without emitting any signal of its own.
Each aircraft equipped with an ADS-B transponder Altitude
periodically broadcasts its own flight data. The receiver Barometric or GNSS-derived altitude
captures these broadcasts, decodes the message 
content, and outputs structured surveillance data for 
Velocity
tracking and monitoring systems.
