ADS-B USB-Dongles

ADS-B Receiver as USB Dongle. The ideal starter device for ADS-B reception are our "Diamond Crown" or "RTL-SDR R820T2 RTL2832U 1PPM TCXO SMA" USB-Dongles.

Their integrated circuitry RTL2832 and R820T2 provides highest sensitivity together with optimum range for small ADS-B Receiver.

Our computer usb dongles (ADS-B receiver) can be operated together with Planeplotter or RTL1090 to receive ADS-B on 1090 MHz or even used as a universal SDR (software defined radio) in the frequency range of 24-1,700 MHz (frequency range not guaranteed).

We ship our dongles together with a small indoor antenna with MCX connector.
These ADS-B antenna is not suited for outdor use. For this purpose two different types of our high quality  Diapason antennas are available dependant on required cable length.

If you want to connect your own antenna devices we recommend our SMA/MCX adapter or extender. For TV cable applications mit European IEC connector (75 ohms) we offer an IEC/MCX adapter.

IMPORTANT: each of our usb dongles was tested individually for full functionality and proper reception quality on 1090 MHz and together with RTL1090 and Planeplotter.

For SDR applications with a requirement of high freqneucy accuracy and stability we offer our SDR-Dongle TCXO (not required for ADS-B reception). This device has a guaranteed frequency accuracy of +-0.5 ppm.

Our dongles are sold and shipped without remote control and without software for the reception of DVB-T and FM signals.
