Description
Proposal for a Lightning Talk at the European GNU Radio Days.
Low Cost Direction Finding in Gnu Radio using a Butler Matrix and Adcock Antenna Array
This Talk is supposed to demo a low budget Direction Finding Setup using GNU Radio. Unlike other well explored methods in GNU Radio featuring AoA or TDoA this talk will show the concept of Adcock Antennas using a Butler Matrix that enable even relatively cheap hardware like a PlutoSDR to resolve full 360 degree directions in a Band of Interest.
Structure / Time
- Explaining basic Principals (2min)
- Adcock Antenna
- Butler Matrix
- Explaination of the Gnuradio Flowgraph (1min)
- DF Performance measurement in an Anachoic chamber (1min)
- Live Demo / We are Hiring! (1min)
If desired the Presentation can also be extended to 30 Minutes.
