Product Details

ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcasting) is a surveillance technology which collects data of aircraft call sign, position, altitude and speed from an aircraft navigation system and broadcasts the data through a data link. It was proposed as a Mode S-based 1090ES (Extended Squitter) and UAT (Universal Access Transceiver) from ICAO through ADS-B data link and 1090ES serves as a surveillance system for transportation aircrafts while UAT is selected for standard aircraft flying under 18,000 ft for multi-broadcasting.
 

(1) UAT System Overview

UAT (Universal Access Transceiver) was developed later than other ADS-B data link technologies and designed to support data broadcasting ADS-B and surface-to-air. UAT supports ground-based data broadcasting application as it is optimized for improving its surveillance and situational awareness. UAT uses the 978MHz UHF frequency band and is operated as a single channel broadband data link with a data rate of approx. 1Mbps/sec. Its media access splits 1-second frame into 2 segments and supports multi-access. The first half of an individual frame is assigned to a ground-based broadcasting service (TIS-B, FIS-B) and the second half is allocated for ADS-B.

Automatic Defendant Surveillance-Broadcasting (ADS-B)is a cutting-edge aircraft position surveillance system which informs pilots and traffic controllers of aircraft's call sign, position, speed and altitude providing an excellent work environment.
Traffic Information Service-Broadcasting (TIS-B) is a ground-based service designed to provide aircraft with an ADS-B with the surveillance data of aircraft without ADS-B.
Flight Information Service-Broadcasting (FIS-B)is a non-controlled surface-to-air broadcasting system which provides pilots with alert (warning) data for safer and more efficient operation in both national and international airspace. FIS provides meteorological data (METAR: Aviation Routine Weather Report, TAF: Aerodrome Forecast), special airspace data, flight limitation notice and other data.

(2) UAT System Components

UAT ground stations receive ADS-B signals sent by UAT-mounted equipment on a regular basis and this message contains the current position, altitude, speed vector and call sign. Then, the ground stations decode the data and convert to ASTERIX format before sending it to the ADS-Bserver through network for aviation surveillance

The ADS-B server merges, filters and converts the ADS-B data received from the UAT ground equipment to generate the surveillance data and sends it to an ADS-B monitoring system for monitoring aviation situation and status.

The TIS-B server stores the surveillance data received from the ADS-B server and ATM and converts it to ASTERIX CAT062 format before sending it to an ADS-B monitoring system and UAT ground station

The FIS-B server stores the data received from the FIS-B Provider and converts it to the application protocol data format (i.e. FIS-B Product) to send to an ADS-B monitoring system and UAT ground station.
