SBIR-STTR Award

An emitter detection and localization (EML) technique has been researched and developed that utilizes long-coherent integration. This technique enables EML over a broad range of emitter frequencies and signal types. The EML system is composed of sensor nodes and a processing center that carries out the bulk of the signal processing. Adaptive network bandwidth utilization is applied to make the system practical.

Benefit:
Improved emitter detection and localization system that can be deployed on a variety of ground-, air-, and space-based platforms.

We propose to build an emitter localization and detection system that can geolocate signals in the 800-2400 MHz range. The system can be rapidly-deployed, provide accurate emitter locations, deals with many-emitter problem explicitly, and can find low-power emitters.

Benefit:
The benefits are: (1) Improved time to deploy to region (2) Improved signal detection sensitivity (3) Improved localization accuracy (4) Improved time to detect (5) Improved time to localize to a given accuracy Commercial benefits exist in law enforcement and in commercial retail data analysis.
