Designed for noisy radio frequency (RF) environments to help isolate both 1090 MHz and 978 MHz ADS-B signals. Combined with our Pro Stick SDR dongle it will allow you to create an ADS-B receiver to track aircraft up to 250NM away.
1090 MHz ADS-B/Mode S Filter
SMA Female to SMA Male
Passes range 980-1150 MHz
Reduces RF noise, increasing number of ADS-B/Mode S messages
Ideal for RTL-SDR USB Dongle receivers like PiAware
The FlightAware Band Pass Signal Filter made a big difference in my ADS-B setup. Before using it, I was getting around 100 nautical miles of range, but after adding the filter, I’m consistently getting around 150–200 nautical miles.
It also helped reduce interference and improved the overall reception and signal quality. Installation was simple, and the build quality is very good. If you’re using an ADS-B setup and dealing with interference or want to get better performance from your SDR, I definitely recommend adding this filter.

Helps filter nosie out as have lots of wifi and other signals nearby.

Distant planes finally visible here
Great addition to my Flightaware setup for my primary FA receiver. I nearly doubled the number of aircraft from the Northeast (e.g., Boston and north) and started seeing many > 200+ nm flights not seen previously. It took <15 minutes to see that I had some RF noise hiding those planes, noise eliminate with the filter. Best $30 I've spent in a long time!

Band pass filter increased ADS-B message count
The addition of the band pass filter eliminated "noise" and increased my message count on my ADS-B receiver. I'm very happy with the upgrade.
