The “Big Picture” View

The goal of this tutorial is(1) to introduce geolocation of RF signals

(2) to analyze blind adaptive signal processing

(3) assess geolocation and digital beam forming

(4) to discuss geolocation and array signal processing

(5) to introduce geolocation, detection, and estimation techniques

(6) to describe multipath processing in geolocation of RF signals

(7) provide hands on lab illustrations which cover realistic geolocation of RF signals

(8) give an overview on the government, industry, technical, andimplementation specifications.


The “Big Picture” View Cont.

This tutorial contains three main sections.

The first section describes the RF signals, the RF signal spectrum

from 100 MHz – 18 GHz, and the geolocation requirements per

application.
