An electronic device (such as a transponder or an aircraft that includes the transponder) is described. This electronic device may include: two omnidirectional antennas; and one or more integrated circuits (such as one or more radios) that transmit and receive RF signals. During operation, the electronic device may receive, using the omnidirectional antennas, broadcast information associated with a second electronic device (such as a second transponder or a second aircraft that includes the second transponder), where the broadcast information is compatible with a regulation from a government aviation or aviation safety administration (such as the Federal Aviation Administration). Then, the electronic device may validate the broadcast information using one or more of: time difference of arrival at the omnidirectional antennas; Doppler shift; or Doppler spread. Next, the electronic device may determine a track of the second electronic device based at least in part on the broadcast information.
An electronic device, comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for use in conjunction with an electronic device, the computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions, wherein, when executed by the electronic device, the program instructions cause the electronic device to perform one or more operations comprising:
A method for determining a track, comprising:
