Testbed for RF signal identification and positioning based on antenna arrays and software-defined radio (SDR)

泰雷兹研究与技术（TRT）魁北克市研究中心的研究人员需要一个无线电信号识别和地理定位系统的功能测试床。该系统将需要多个采集站，每个采集站都配备有自适应天线阵列和现场可编程门阵列（FPGA），以支持软件定义无线电（SDR）原型。目前的提议是该试验平台开发的第一阶段，并基于Roy教授及其团队在自适应天线阵列、SDR和地理定位方面的专业知识。鉴于拟议试验平台的范围非常雄心勃勃，最初的6个月阶段将限于两个方面：1-在实际SDR硬件上的开发和实施，验证了基于智能天线阵列的无线电信号波达方向（DOA）估计的合适校准方案; 2-仅基于软件仿真的地理定位和RF信号识别算法的开发。

Researchers at the Thales Research and Technology (TRT) Quebec City research center require a functionaltestbed for a radio signal identification and geolocation system. This system would entail multiple acquisitionstations, each equipped with an adaptive antenna array and a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in orderto support software-defined radio (SDR) prototyping. The present proposal represents the first phase in thedevelopment of this testbed, and is based upon the expertise of Professor Roy and his team in adaptive antennaarrays, SDR, and geolocation.Given the very ambitious scope of the proposed testbed, this initial 6-month phase will be limited to twoaspects: 1- development, implementation on actual SDR hardware, and validation of an appropriate calibrationscheme for radio signal direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation based on smart antenna arrays; 2- developmentof a geolocation and RF signal identification algorithm in context based on software simulation alone.
