piADSB-NG/FM (Flight Model)
Space-Friendly™ CubeSat ADS-B Receiver.
The piADSB-NG is a Next Generation CubeSat ADS-B Air Traffic Control (ATC) Receiver based on freely available 1090ES Squitters transmitted from aircrafts. The next generation RF chain with Improved Demodulator Sensitivity, Telemetry Engine and Squitter Counter with an ASCII output via serial UART channel is a compact solution including antenna array with No Deployables!
Single Unit. | All-in-One.
Are you still using SDR-based high data rate sampling ADCs just draining energy from the battery which then all need cooling? SDR-based receivers and decoders are brilliant in their versatility, reconfigurability and amount of features that can be adapted to. But, they naturally consume much more power than necessary.
Focus on Mission. | Tracking Aircrafts.
piADSB-NG is based on a standalone, dedicated RF chain solution, requesting only that energy really necessary to monitor the ADS-B L-Band 1090 MHz Air Traffic! A bonus is non-deployable antenna array - no risk of deployment failure.
Whether you’re training the next generation of Air Traffic Control (ATC) specialists, building your own private aircraft-tracking constellation, or launching a revolutionary university search and rescue (SAR) mission – everything is now possible with piADSB-NG!

piADSB-NG/EM (Engineering Model)
As the Space-based long distance (free space loss -148dB @ 1090MHz, 550 km range) ADS-B link budget is set to be extremely tight (~ -90 to -100dBm level only! at the 550 km slant range signal level with 750W transponder), a special care have to be taken to the EMC/EMI environment in order to maximize the receiver sensitivity yield.
To test whether the satellite bus subsystems, flatsat or satellite qualification model (magnetorquers, MPPT solar controllers, DC/DC converters, transmitters, mixers, local oscillators, etc.) are not affecting the piADSB-NG system noisefloor, the Engineering Model grade with identical electrical and RF properties is available. It is highly recommended to run the test before the flight and observe whether the fully operational satellite is not limiting the maximum available range/frame rate in open space or using ADS-B 1090 MHz squitter test signal generator.
