| Otherwise you'll need a suitable SDR radio (probably an RTL-SDR or similar designed specifically for ADS-B reception) and a suitable Linux system for feeding. This is usually a Raspberry Pi, but it can also be run on normal Linux machines. We'll only cover RTL-SDR-based installs here as that is by far the most popular setup, but you may be able to use other radios with technology such as Soapy SDR or extra drivers. | Otherwise you'll need a suitable SDR radio (probably an RTL-SDR or similar designed specifically for ADS-B reception) and a suitable Linux system for feeding.

| For an antenna you can make something really simple or buy something. A simple 1/4 wave ground plane built around a chassis connector for 1090 MHz connector works well, as does a collinear made from coax segments inside a PVC pipe. Feed the antenna with good coax with decent loss stats at this frequency. You can use cable TV 75 Ohm coax at a push and the loss stats are quite good @ 1090 MHz. | For an antenna you can make something really simple or buy something.
