Preface

Geolocation of RF Signals: Principles and Simulations offers an overview of the best practices and innovative techniques in the art and science of geolocation over the last 20 years. It covers all research and development aspects including theoretical analysis, RF signals, geolocation techniques, key block diagrams, and practical principle simulation examples in the frequency band from 100 MHz to 18 GHz or even 60 GHz. Dr. Progri reveals the research and development process by demonstrating how to understand and explain geolocation of RF signals from basic diagrams to the final principle simulation examples and makes recommendations for the future final products of geolocation of RF signals. Starting with RF signals, the book progressively examines various signal bands – such as VLF, LF, MF, HF, VHF, UHF, L, S, C, X, Ku, and, K and the corresponding geolocation requirements per band and per application – to achieve required performance objectives of up to 0˚ precision. Next follows a step-by-step approach of RF geolocation techniques and concludes with notes on state-of-the-art geolocation designs as well as advanced features found in signal generator instruments. The book also includes the best mathematical techniques employed for geolocation of RF signals at 100 MHz to 18 GHz or even 60 GHz. The book is designed into two parts taking into consideration the vastness, depth, and resourcefulness of the material. Part I contains Chaps. 1–3 and part II includes Chaps. 4–6. Part I of the book is intended to engage and immerse the reader with unique, powerful ideas, detailed descriptions and discussions, powerful analysis, important principles and visualization tools, and most of all provide the means to deepen the reader’s imagination for future research and development work, applications, and product, and development of future prototypes. Figures make the reader aware of the vastness of
