R&S®MobileLocator;

Advanced interference hunting and emitter location

For the first time, R&S®MobileLocator makes enables detection and automatic location of a transmitter from a moving DF vehicle. In just minutes, the compact DF system based on the R&S®PR200 portable direction finder transforms a commercial vehicle into a DF platform for the frequency range from 20 MHz to 6 GHz. In combination with other Rohde & Schwarz direction finders, the R&S®MobileLocator can be used in dedicated DF vehicles and helicopters.

Features & benefits

Automated interference hunting

Homing in on a transmitter

since tall buildings can reflect or obscure signals, the vehicle needs to be moving no slower than walking speed to provide bearings to the R&S®MobileLocator. The R&S®MobileLocator filters all available bearings, saves relevant DF results and uses statistical analysis to determine the most probable signal direction and position. The result is continually updated and displayed on a map.

Turnkey solution

Straightforward interference search

The strong multipath propagation of radio signals makes manual signal location in urban areas very time consuming and prone to error. R&S®MobileLocator is optimized for multipath propagation and quickly guides users to the location of the interference source.

  • Panorama scan for a quick overview of all signal activity
  • Signal demodulation and audio recording
  • Spectrum display in real-time bandwidth for detailed signal monitoring
