ADS-B is broadcast using the Mode S SSR transponder. Indeed ADS-B is a Mode S message format, but is transmitted spontaneously (squitter) rather than in response to a radar interrogation.

ADS (sometimes called ADS-C) reports periodically over a satellite link using an established point-to-point connection.
