About the RF Detector Board

RF Detector Board is an open source PCB design by PantsForBirds, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 28 × 44 mm, with 24 components from 16 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the AD8314 and BGA2818. By type, the board carries 8 capacitors, 6 connectors, 4 resistors, 2 ICs, 2 crystals and 1 diode.

It belongs with the rf & radio and dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.

From the project

Open Source Embedded ADS-B Receiver

ADSBee is a family of open-source, dual-band ADS-B receivers from Pants for Birds LLC. Every ADSBee decodes 1090 MHz Mode S / ADS-B and 978 MHz UAT transmissions onboard — no SDR dongle, FPGA, or host computer required — maintains an aircraft dictionary, and streams tracked aircraft over UART (and, on the 1090 family, WiFi / Ethernet) in a wide range of output protocols. This repository holds the firmware, hardware design files, datasheets, and host software for the whole family.
