Descriptions
An ADSB / Mode-A/C air data receiver with a nanosecond accurate GPS based time stamp option. Used to monitor aircraft positions in the range of the local antenna and exchanging this information with local PCs or through internet. Contains an Altera EP3C16 FPGA, MAX1193 dual channel ADC, a 1090MHz receiver and a Trimble Resolution SMT GPS module. Subsidary use is as an NTP Stratum 1 time standard. FPGA is loaded from Beaglebone using passive serial mode. Aircraft data is available on ttyO5, GPS information on ttyO2. The board is prepared to be equipped with a 15MSample 12bit ADC for SDR applications.
