Claim:
1. A system comprising: a first decoder communicatively coupled to a front-end unit; and a second decoder communicatively coupled to the front-end unit, wherein the first decoder and the second decoder are configured to: detect automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) preambles from a signal stream received via the front-end unit; decode ADS-B signals associated with the ADS-B preambles; and output ADS-B message data based on the ADS-B signals, wherein the first decoder is configured to detect a first ADS-B preamble from the signal stream, and to decode a first ADS-B signal associated with the first ADS-B preamble, wherein the second decoder is configured to attempt to detect a subsequent ADS-B preamble while the first decoder is decoding the first ADS-B signal, and to decode a subsequent ADS-B signal associated with the subsequent ADS-B preamble, and wherein the system is further configured to enable the second decoder when the first decoder is decoding the first ADS-B signal, and to disable the second decoder when the first decoder is finished decoding the first ADS-B signal.
