Counter threats by detecting, classifying, and locating signals of interest over a wide area
RF direction finding and geolocation techniques provide the critical insights needed for effective decision-making. Knowing a transmission exists is important, but knowing the location of that transmission can deliver vital intelligence for both military and civilian applications. Direction Finding (DF) provides a bearing to a transmission by using an angle from the sensor to the transmitter. Conversely, Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) geolocation pinpoints the precise geographic coordinates of a transmission in two or three dimensions.
By tracking the positions of aircraft, controllers can ensure safe separation and correct use of airspace.
To pinpoint the direction of an interfering RF signal, sensors measure the time delay of the received signal at each antenna and triangulate the signal's source location.
DF technology helps locate distress signals from emergency beacons used by aircraft and ships.
By precisely determining the location of a threat and then monitoring enemy communications, military forces can respond rapidly to incidents in border areas.
Our custom solutions for DF and geolocation focus on enabling accurate, real-time detection, tracking, and analysis of RF signals across a wide range of frequencies. These solutions are essential for applications that require high accuracy in signal source localization, monitoring, and identification. With RFMWLAB, you can expect specialized, high-performance solutions designed to meet the demands of critical DF and geolocation applications.
