Distributed Spectral Monitoring For Emitter Localization

Abstract

The geolocation of RF emitters is an important capability for DSA (dynamic spectrum access) enabled sensor networks. The purpose of this report is to present research and application of the various localization techniques in a DSA sensor network. The results of the research are presented through simulation of localization algorithms, emulation of a network on a wireless RF environment emulator, and field tests. The results of the various tests in both the lab and field are obtained and analyzed to determine whether the field tests and emulation results correspond to the theoretical simulations.
