    This document summarizes key aspects of radar basics and ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) technology: The downlink broadcast frame from aircraft is transmitted regularly at 1 Hz and includes positional reports from aircraft systems like GPS. The Mode S downlink encoding allows synchronization to a clock for decoding data blocks coded with Pulse-Position Modulation. An ADS-B message uses data format DF17 which conveys aircraft type, ID, altitude, latitude, longitude and velocity. Real-time ADS-B receiver systems can display aircraft as a virtual radar on PCs.
