The paper a detailed investigation of collinear antennas for Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (ADS-B) reception at 1090 MHz. Both four-element and twelve-element designs were analyzed using electromagnetic simulation and validated in field experiments. Performance metrics such as gain, standing wave ratio (SWR) and reception range were measured and compared. Results indicate that increasing the number of elements improves their parameters but may create many side lobes which create blind spots in antennas' vertical plots.
