Portable Drone
Detection System

Portable passive RF and acoustic monitoring platform for UAV-related signal detection across 0.2–13 GHz.

0.2–13 GHz Passive RF Embedded Linux DSP Acoustic Detection GNSS
SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Multi-band passive detection architecture.

The Rev.A concept combines wideband RF monitoring, frequency conversion, embedded signal processing and an independent acoustic sensing channel in a portable autonomous field instrument.

LOW BAND 0.2–2 GHz

Lower-frequency RF monitoring through a dedicated antenna and optimized front-end path.

MID BAND 2–6 GHz

Monitoring of ISM, Wi-Fi, FPV and other digital radio activity within the mid-band spectrum.

HIGH BAND 6–13 GHz

Dedicated microwave front end for extended high-frequency spectrum monitoring.

SIGNAL PROCESSING

Spectrum analysis and event detection.

RF Analysis

FFT processing, real-time spectrum visualization, waterfall display and signal-level measurement.

Event Detection

RF activity detection, occupied-bandwidth analysis, temporal feature extraction and event logging.

Classification

Software-based signal analysis designed to distinguish detected RF activity from possible UAV-related events.

Acoustic Channel

MEMS microphone array for independent analysis of acoustic signatures associated with electric motors and propellers.

Sensor Fusion

RF and acoustic observations can be combined to improve detection confidence and reduce false alarms.

Operator Console

Spectrum, waterfall, band status, RF events, GNSS position, acoustic status and system telemetry.

PROJECT GALLERY

Portable field system.

DEVELOPMENT STATUS

Rev.A — Engineering Development

Current development covers system architecture, RF segmentation, receiver topology, embedded processing and the mechanical concept for a portable autonomous detector.

Passive
Receive-Only

No active radar transmitter is required. Detection is based on passive RF monitoring and complementary acoustic sensing.

Receiver sensitivity, instantaneous analysis bandwidth, complete sweep time, detection range, probability of detection and classification performance remain subject to Rev.A prototype characterization and field testing.
