Overview

FIS-B 978 ('fisb-978') is a set of programs that demodulates and error corrects FIS-B (Flight Information System - Broadcast) and ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast) messages transmitted on 978 Mhz, mostly in the United States.

It performs the same function as FlightAware's 978 https://github.com/flightaware/dump978, but is spread out over several programs that are piped together. It's main advantage over FlightAware's 978 and other 'dump-978' clones is that for moderate to weaker signals it can provide much higher packet decode rates, since it takes into account that samples at the Nyquist sampling rate may not be optimal and will shift them to more optimal levels.

For strong signals, 'dump-978' and 'fisb-978' will perform similarly.

'fisb-978' is composed of two main parts and one optional part:

  • demod_978 is a C language program which takes raw data from an SDR program at 978 Mhz and sample rate of 2.083334 Mhz (with 16-bit complex integer output (CS16)) and will demodulate the data, detect sync words, and output packets along with attributes of the packet to standard output. Typically, 'ec-978.py' will read this data.
  • ec_978.py takes the data from 'demod_978' and will use Reed-Solomon error correction to produce an output packet as hex bytes (similar to 'dump-978'). It uses a number of techniques to provide a higher packet decode rate. The output is sent to standard output, where is can be used as is, or processed by 'server_978'.
  • server_978.py takes the output from 'ec_978.py' and will provide a TCP server where clients can connect and receive the data. It is optional if you don't want to serve the data via TCP.

The program is broken into parts for modularity and speed. C is very fast for searching through the input stream and finding sync packets (numpy is great at the demodulation part, but horrid at searching for sync codes). Python using numpy (and a Reed-Solomon library linked to a C library), is very quick at error correcting the packets and manipulating them to provide more optimum bit levels for better error correction rates.

A couple of things to consider before using:

  • Since 'demod_978.c' uses type-punning, a compiler that is friendly to that is required. GCC is such a compiler. All code expects little-endian byte order. This will work on most common architectures in use today. If needed, big-endian can be added as a future feature.

  • 'server_978.py' uses a select() statement using both sockets and file I/O. As such, this will usually not work on Windows (it should work fine if you are using the 'Linux Subsystem for Linux').

FIS-B 978 is not designed, nor intended, to be used for any purpose other than fun exploration.

⚠️ WARNING
FIS-B 978 is NOT intended for actual flight use, nor to be used as a component of a system for any flight related operations (flight planning, etc). It is strictly a fun hobby program with many bugs. It is based loosely on draft standards, not actual standards, and has not undergone any formal testing. DO NOT USE OTHER THAN FOR FUN-- NOT FLIGHT!!

To get started with FIS-B 978, see the file 'fisb-978-intro.pdf' in the fisb-978/docs directory.
