From theory to practice: Implementations issues for techniques based on AoA and TDoA

摘要

This paper presents a bridge between theory and hardware implementations of radio direction finding (RDF) techniques particularly Angle of Arrival (AoA) and radiolocalization technique namely Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) in non-collaborative scenarios. It presents aspects that must be considered in the system design and performance tests, including antenna array features in AoA. Minimum required distance between target node (TN) and reference nodes (RN), sampling frequency, etc., in TDoA. Furthermore, the paper presents a method to calculate the experimental estimation range value in TDoA algorithms.
