Abstract
The applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have increased dramatically in the past decade. Meanwhile, close-range UAV detection has been intriguing by many researchers for its great importance in privacy, security, and safety control. Positioning of the UAV controller (hub) is quite challenging but still difficult. In order to combat this emerging problem for public interest, we propose to utilize a software-defined radio (SDR) platform, namely HackRF One, to enable the UAV hub detection and localization. The SDR receiver can acquire the UAV source signals. The theoretical path-loss propagation model is adopted to predict the signal strength attenuation. Thus, the UAV hub location can be estimated using the modified multilateration approach by only three or more SDR receivers.
