A plurality of antenna elements may receive a plurality of signals. Each of the plurality of antenna elements may correspond to at least one of a plurality of sectors of a sectorized antenna. A receiver may process each of the plurality of signals in parallel, including decoding one or more messages from the plurality of signals. The receiver may output at least one of the one or more messages.

Sectorized antennas for improved airborne reception of surveillance signals

In one example of this disclosure, two decoders perform a method for detecting and decoding overlapping radio surveillance signals. The first decoder detects a first automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) preamble from a signal stream received via a front-end unit. The first decoder decodes the first ADS-B signal associated with the first ADS-B preamble. The second decoder detects a subsequent ADS-B preamble from the signal stream while the first decoder is decoding the first ADS-B signal. The second decoder decodes the subsequent ADS-B signal associated with the subsequent ADS-B preamble.

Double decoder system for decoding overlapping aircraft surveillance signals

Systems and methods for airborne object detection using monocular sensors are provided. In one embodiment, a system for detecting moving objects from a mobile vehicle comprises: an imaging camera; a navigation unit including at least an inertial measurement unit; and a computer system coupled to the image camera and the navigation unit. The computer system executes an airborne object detection process algorithm, and calculates a transformation between two or more image frames captured by the imaging camera using navigation information associated with each of the two or more image frames to generate a motion compensated background image sequence. The computer system detects moving objects from the motion compensated background image sequence.
