Feeding data to the Flight Radar 24 network.<\/p>\n

Using the RTL-SDR usb stick and standard antennae give me a range of around 160 miles.<\/p>\n

\"rtlsdr\"<\/a>This is the basic receiver and standard antennae.<\/p>\n

With this setup sat in my loftspace i am receiving about 160 miles away.<\/p>\n

\"rtlsdr<\/a><\/p>\n

RTL1090 software converting data.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Building a new antennae should increase the gain so I am going to work on a quarterwave tuned antennae.<\/p>\n

I am basing the antennae on the cantenna idea so using and empty bean tin cut down to 69mm in height as the frequency is 1090MHz.<\/p>\n

\"can\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The quarterwave antennae is 69mm of copper from low loss satellite cable soldered to a bulkhead f-connector which is bolted to the tin.<\/p>\n

\"antennae<\/a><\/p>\n

The cable is screwed into the f-connector inside the tin.<\/p>\n

\"inside\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As I am building the antennae to be mounted inside the loft space it will be hung from the highest point with a plastic trunking bracket.<\/p>\n

\"antennae<\/a><\/p>\n

Simulated data for this design.<\/p>\n
