Equipment and Software Used

Keysight Geolocation N6854A Software and GNU Radio

Description

The UAV flies on a fixed zigzag trajectory at 40 m, 70 m, and 100 m, while transmitting a channel sounding signal based on GNU Radio at bandwidths of 1.25 MHz, 2.5 MHz, and 5 MHz, and a central frequency of 3.32 GHz. RF sensors use time difference of arrival (TDOA) based geolocation of the UAV using the N6854A software.
