Abstract

Automatic Dependent Surveillance―Broadcast (ADS-B) is an emerging means of aeronautical surveillance for air traffic control, in which aircraft periodically broadcast positional updates to ground stations. ADS-B is high performance, but anomaly positions should be detected and removed for safety and security. A possible method is estimating the receiver-aircraft distance based on received signal strength (RSS) and compare it with the reported position. For this, an improvement in distance estimation is proposed in this paper, where antenna diversity is exploited. ADS-B signals are transmitted from two antennas, installed on bottom and top of the aircraft body, respectively. By combining estimation results for the two antenna, estimation error caused by noise and fading can be mitigated. The proposed method was evaluated by measurement. The error was mitigated to a standard deviation of 12.2 km from 17.2 km (top antenna only) and 17.3 km (bottom antenna only).
