Detecting Drones Using a Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer

With an attached camera, a drone can be a source of entertainment that provides breathtaking birds-eye views. For commercial and first responder purposes, a drone can be an asset for information and increased productivity. However, when a drone is operating where it shouldn’t, organizations need real-time, accurate, simple to operate and cost-effective solutions for detecting drones flying in or near restricted airspace. This application note discusses the basics for detecting a drone using a real-time spectrum analyzer and how networking multiple spectrum analyzers can create an automated drone detection system with 24/7 monitoring capabilities.
