Using The IDA-3106 For Rapid Systematic Detection And Geographical Localization Of RF Signals In An Unknown Environment

This Application Note describes a method using the new IDA-3106 handheld receiver with on-board spectrum management and direction finding functions, which is particularly suitable for use by special forces during tactical operations. One application scenario is the rapid systematic detection of unwanted or unauthorized communications during field operations and their elimination through tactical countermeasures such as active jamming. Another scenario is support in combating criminal or paramilitary activities and capturing the perpetrators by tactical localization of the communications equipment used without attracting attention.
