Riverside, Ca –
- Project Objective:
- Utilized a portable transceiver to detect a rogue transmission in the field.
- Generated a heatmap of the search area
- Reduced the next search area and locate the rogue transmission source.
- Experimental Hardware and Software Setup:
- NI USRP-2920 SDR
- X-Star Premium Drone
- Ettus E312 USRP
- LabVIEW Communications
- MATLAB
- GNU Radio
- Project Outcomes:
- Successfully recorded and analyzed rogue transmission with GNU Radio
- Processed received signal to obtain power spectral density data and generate the heatmap
- Accurately recorded GPS coordinates of each sample received
- Created a MATLAB program to dissect flight path and power spectral density data
- Displayed flight path on Google Maps image of the search area
- Reduced the search area based on maximum power spectral density data received
