Abstract In this paper, the design of a miniature antenna dedicated to the detection of airliners through the demodulation of Automatic Dependence Surveillance-Broadcast system (ADS-B) signals is presented. This antenna is designed for being embedded on the top of a drone in order to detect and avoid collisions with airliners. This antenna consists of an array of Planar Inverted-F Antennas, a quadrature feed network (FN) and a reflector plane (RP). The FN is designed to have output signals with the same amplitude and a 90° phase difference between each other. It achieves circular polarization and maintains the axial ratio of the antenna under −3 dB at the desired frequency (1.09 GHz). The antenna with the FN was manufactured and characterized. It weighs approximately 145 kg with its RP. The measured gain of the proposed antenna is about +3.7 dBi. To validate the design, the manufactured antenna was tested with a Universal Software Radio Peripheral for the processing of ADS-B signals at the French National Microwaves Days 2019 (JNM) student contest. The detection of airliners can reach up to 437 km.

Hardware-in-the-loop communication equipment simulation is an important step of the development about communications and electromagnetic environment simulation. Reference to the "software radio" design thinking, the source library is generated by the software and different communication signals are generated by the fixed hardware frame. The system achieves “versatility”. GMSK in wireless communications has been widely applied. It is one of the important signals generated by the simulator. Based on analysis of the structure, the paper introduces the design of the simulator. It also provides the software simulation of Matlab. It provides a reference simulation for communications equipment and electromagnetic environment simulation.

Abstract— Radar or radio detection and ranging has a basic function to detect and measure a target range. One of the latest developments is Software Defined Radio (SDR)-based radar. An example of SDR implementation is by using Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) as hardware and GNU Radio Companion (GRC) as software. The simplest radar type is pulse radar in which system timing is crucial. Meanwhile, in pulse radar system implementation using USRP and GRC, there is an issue with the random processing time delay between communication protocol of USRP and computer running the GRC, which causes incorrect measurement. This research aims to analyze the random time delay in the pulse radar system implementation by using USRP and GRC to anticipate the effect of random time delay. Pulse radar systems implementation is administered by transmitting 128 bits of Barker code and performing correlation between transmitted and received radar signal. Research result shows that the random time delay can be anticipated by making the direct reception from radar transmitter to receiver as the reference in range calculation.

Universal Software Radio Peripheral

Software-defined radios (SDR) are gradually becoming a practical option for implementing RF communication systems due to their low cost, off-the-shelf availability, and flexibility. Although the analog limitations of the hardware devices in these systems create barriers to some applications, creative algorithms in digital signal processing (DSP) can improve the results. In some cases, this improvement is essential to establishing a robust and reliable communication. The universal software radio peripheral (USRP) is a popular hardware that can be used alongside the SDR. Among many capabilities of USRP and its changeable daughter boards is receiving GPS signals. The GPS satellites transmit data on two main frequencies, L1 (1575.42 MHz) and L2 (1227.60 MHz). In this chapter, the focus is on describing a detailed implementation of the real-time DSP-based algorithm for USRP to detect GPS signal, namely the L1 band that transmits at 1575.42 MHz.
