Position of the sensors to each other
To localize a drone an intersection of
the bearings from at least two sen-
sors is needed.
Localization is not possible in the
case where two RF-360s are aligned.
This is the blind area of two sensors.
Both RF-360s detects a direction
in alignment to the left. The over-
lapping area covers the complete
bearing of the other RF-360. The
position can’t be determind.
?
•
Base station and other strong signale sources
The detected signals are getting interfered.
•
Any excessive heat sources
•
Any overhead power lines, power circuits, or electrical lights
Electrical discharge can damage the device.
Select a secure installation location and mounting position for the device. Ideally, this is a location
where the device cannot be interfered with, either intentionally or accidentally.
5.2 Direction Finding and Localization Conditions
For accurate localization results, follow the guidance below in addition to the Mounting Surface
(see chapter Mounting Surface, page 9).
The position is determined by the intersection of at least two bearings. Therefore minimum two
RF-360 sensors are required for localization, but we recommend at least three RF-360 sensors as
this significantly reduces localization errors.
For best localization results, all RF-360 sensor should be installed at the same height.
