Design and Implement of a Configurable ADS-B Out System Complying with RTCA DO-۲۶۰ B and C

Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADSB) is a surveillance system installed on airplanes, aerodrome mobiles, and other objects to periodically broadcast and/or receive their identification, velocity, position, and additional data by Mode S-Extended Squitter (۱۰۹۰ES) data link. ADS-B systems have ۲ subsystems: ADS-B In and ADS-B Out. In the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) definitions of ADS-B subsystems, ADS-B Out broadcasts aircraft state vectors and navigation information. ADS-B In, as the complementary of ADSB Out subsystem, provides air-to-air awareness of situations to pilots. A fully operational ADS-B system (ADS-B Out and ADS-B In) must comply with the avionics and navigation standards. The RTCA DO-۲۶۰ standard includes minimum operational performance requirements for airborne equipment for ADS-B systems using ۱۰۹۰ES. An operational ADS-B Out system must be certified by RTCA DO-۲۶۰ standard. Compliance with DO-۲۶۰ standards is recommended by designers, manufacturers, and users as one of the essential means of assuring that the equipment will satisfactorily perform its intended functions under conditions encountered in normal aviation perations. Versions B and C of DO-۲۶۰ were released in December ۲۰۱۱ and December ۲۰۲۰, respectively. Therefore, there are differences in the operational registers of these two versions. Hence, the proposed ADS-B Out system is designed to be compliant with DO-۲۶۰ standard versions B and C. The proposed system can easily toggle between two DO-۲۶۰ standard versions. The experimental assessments demonstrate the reliable operation of the manufactured ADS-B Out.
