Radio Frequency Localization of a Transmitter using Multiple Space-Based Receivers

Abstract

The end result of this research is expected to show which applications space-based geo-location is suitable for, as well as overall feasibility. This will be a novelty, as there has been relatively little research made in this area by the scientific community overall. The technical approach will consist primarily of theoretical work and simulation, with a possibility of some minimal laboratory work later on. The research will involve work in signal processing, applied electromagnetics, orbital mechanics, and statistical estimation.
