    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a receiver for Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) verification of a target aircraft including a first input for receiving flight tracking information from a target aircraft that indicates positional information of the target aircraft. The receiver further includes a second input for receiving positional and heading information indicating the location and orientation of a multi-element array antenna configured to be attached to the receiver, and a processing module that generates a measured bearing derived from angle of arrival data, and an expected bearing of the target aircraft derived from the indicated positional information of the target aircraft and the positional and heading information defining the receiver location and orientation. A comparator compares the expected bearing to the measured bearing and verifies the ADS-B flight tracking information of the target aircraft and outputs an indication of authenticity based on the verification.

    Abstract: An interface device that enables a GNSS-based precision approach through the Ground Base Augmentation System (GBAS) function known as the GNSS Landing System (GLS) and/or through Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) based Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV). The GLS interface device allows a GLS-capable multi-mode receiver to be used on a non-GLS-capable airplane without extensive changes to other airplane systems. The GLS interface device works by intercepting information to and from the multi-mode receiver and modifying the information to make the interface compatible with an airplane that uses ILS guidance. Similarly, the information modifications will make the airplane appear to the multi-mode receiver as if it were a GLS-capable airplane.

    Abstract: A satellite navigation system including a digital controlled reception pattern antenna (DCRPA) subsystem and a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver. The overall system is designed so that all radio frequency (RF) processing and digital sampling are incorporated in the DCRPA subsystem. The RF signal from each element of the DCRPA array is digitized separately. Then the resultant digital samples are combined into a single bit stream which is transmitted to the GNSS receiver. Preferably the GNSS receiver is a software defined radio. The arrangement allows the DCRPA subsystem and the GNSS receiver to be connected with a single coaxial cable. Such an arrangement would allow simple retrofit of CRPA antennas to existing airframe designs as well as simple and inexpensive installations on new aircraft designs.
