ADS-B: Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast
You can find some excellent descriptions of the system here:
There are several professional ADS-B receivers on the market for use by pilots and commercial enterprises, too many to list here. This article will try to cover amateur-level ADS-B reception, decoding, and plotting/viewing solutions.
SDR-RTL Decoding, Plotting, and Sharing Software
ADSB# Decode-only, no plotting capability (Free) (Windows)
RTL1090 Decode-only, no plotting capability (Free) (Windows)
Globe-S RTL1090 Edition Designed to plot location data and flight list from RTL1090 output. (Free) (Windows)
PlanePlotter Plots, shares, feeds other software. The de facto standard software package for decoding ACARS/ADS-B/HF Selcal, sharing, plotting, alerting, multilateration, and Beamfinding. (Free for 30 days, then Paid) (Windows)
flightradar24 Users are entitled to a Premium account on the flightradar24 tracking site in exchange for sharing ADS-B data. Their software requires a decoder application such as listed above, and does not directly plot data on a GUI or map. ADS-B data is sent to their servers, and is plotted on their web site on a Google-based map. Users in sparse coverage areas may be eligible to receive ADS-B monitoring equipment from flightradar24 in exchange for an agreement to share ADS-B data. (Free) (Windows)
Virtual Radar Server Will decode from several ADS-B receivers or can accept networked data feed. Serves a Google Maps-based display of aircraft positions and flight list. (Free) (Windows)
adsbScope (Free) (Windows)
Dump1090 (Free) (Mac/Linux)
Cocoa1090 (Free) (Mac)
