| Abstract [eng] |
The thesis investigates drone detection using Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology. An analysis of passive and active drone detection methods is performed by evaluating their advantages, disadvantages, and application possibilities. The experimental part includes three types of measurements: direction finding of the drone control signal based on signal strength, monopulse direction finding, and distance measurement to a target using an FMCW-based radar. The obtained results demonstrate that SDR technology can be effectively applied for both passive and active drone detection; however, the effectiveness of the investigated methods depends on the parameters of the RF equipment, antenna characteristics, and the applied signal detection algorithms. The aim of the thesis is to investigate the applicability of Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology for drone detection and to experimentally evaluate the effectiveness of the selected methods. |
