TLDR
A radio direction finding system for low signal quality transmission signal performs a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on an entire received RF band into a number of FFT bins, each serving as an IF filter.
Abstract
A radio direction finding system for a low signal quality transmission signal performs a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on an entire received RF band into a number of FFT bins, each serving as an IF filter. The contents of each FFT bin are demodulated to decode a frequency signature from the encoded RF signal. A signal-to-noise ratio comparator receives the FFT baseband samples and determines the signal level from the known frequency signature. The FFT baseband buffer with the greatest SNR corresponding to a particular FFT frequency bin is outputted as a direction finding metric.
