Interface
ADS-ASIP via RS-232

Mini-VDR VDB Receiver

The Mini-VDR VDB Receiver  is a small D8PSK-TDMA receiver designed to support the monitoring and analysis of GBAS (LAAS / GBAS) ground station in the laboratory or in the field. In addition to providing data, the Mini-VDR VDB Receiver provides RF parameters with each GBAS message received. These RF parameters include:

  • Frequency Offset
  • Signal Strength
  • Signal Quality
  • Time Into Slot
  • Actual Slot
  • SSID
  • and more...
