Simulation of Direction Finding for Transmission Sources

Abstract

Direction finding (DF) refers to the establishment of the direction from which a received signal was transmitted. The source of a transmission located in space via many techniques, one of them is the triangulation method. The purpose of this research is to study the triangulation technique for direction finding, and building a receiver with a board that can be utilized with C++ software to receive signals from two antennas. After the simulation was done, the results were compared and it has a good accuracy in terms of angle of arrival but it cannot locate the position of the target (transmitter).
