ADSB In/Out
TR1F belongs to the generation of the smallest transceivers on market and supports two technologies: ADSB and FLARM.
It has been developed to support civil and commercial Unmanned Aircraft Systems as well as General Aviation. The device
operates on 1090MHz and 868 MHz and allows to receive and transmit ADSB and FALRM data with defined 0.25, 0.5 or 1 Watt
output power for ADSB and 0,025W for FALRM. The transceiver does not require external devices to operate. It is equipped
with a high quality multiGNSS receiver and a pressure sensor. The aluminium housing and ESD protection guarantee high
resistance of the device to work in difficult conditions. TR1F opens the way to the safe integration of UAS into nonsegregated
airspace, implementation of the Detect and Avoid algorithms and reduce separation between airspace users.
The device to operate on FLARM frequency requires FLARM UAS licence. The licence can be obtained with the
device from Aerobits upon purchase.
ICAO addresses are used to provide a unique identity normally allocated to an individual aircraft or registration.
Address becomes a part of the aircraft’s Certificate of Registration and MUST be given by Civil Aviation
Authority and registered in aircraft database.
• Realtime aircraft tracking on 1090MHz and 868 MHz
• Patented FPGAInTheLoop TM technology with the capability of receiving thousands of frames per second
• Integrated GNSS source and pressure sensor

Table 4: Mechanical parameters
TR1F is a standalone device and in the simplest case of its operation requires only a power supply. However during the first
startup, you must configure the device. That can be performed in the few steps described below. First install the antennas using
the MCX> SMA adapters included in the kit. Also connect the configuration cable that will help you set the device parameters.
The following figure shows the installation method.
Figure 2: Combination overview
1. Connect the device to the PC. The converter is supplied with the FTDI chip. In this case, the installation of the controller
takes place automatically.
2. Download the latest Micro ADSB software from www.aerobits.pl. Install Micro ADSB on your Windows computer. If
the device is connected to a PC, it should be found automatically after clicking the ”Connect” button. The connection window
should look similar to the one in the picture.
Select the device found and press ”OK”.

3. Press ”Settings” to enter the parameterization mode of the module. After setting the parameters, press the ”Ok” button to
save the settings. TR1F is ready to work.

1. Module installation – There is a high concentration of various electronic systems on a small area at UAS. Try to keep as much
separation between TR1F and other devices, especially radio ones. Despite the high robustness of TR1F to jamming, try to
install the antenna away from other onboard systems.
2. AERO vs. MAVLink protocol – TR1F is based on OEM TTSF1a module. The default is in AERO protocol mode, which
is an ASCII protocol. If you want to use the module to work with MAVLink system, it is possible to switch the protocol to
MAVLink, which has the binary representation. Details of the module programming can be found on the website.
