 Abstract

The "Airplane Tracking System using ADS-B Signals" project is a real-time

aircraft monitoring solution leveraging Automatic Dependent Surveillance–
Broadcast (ADS-B) signals. By employing a software-defined radio (SDR) to
capture and decode ADS-B data, the system extracts vital information such as
aircraft ID, position, altitude, and velocity. Integration with mapping libraries
enables users to visualize aircraft movements through a user-friendly
interface.

Featuring essential components like hardware setup, software installation,

and data processing, the project is versatile, offering optional database
integration for historical tracking. It caters to a range of applications,
including plane spotting, research, and education, with its modular structure
providing scalability and customization. Accompanied by comprehensive
documentation, the project ensures accessibility for users keen on exploring
the intricacies of aircraft tracking.
