FPV Signal Detector

Purpose: Detects and identifies radio links used by FPV drones so operators can discover nearby drone activity without emitting interference.

Detection Methods: Passively scans RF spectrum for common FPV/control signals and protocols (e.g., analog 5.8GHz, digital video links, 2.4GHz RC/control).

Localization: Advanced units offer direction‑finding (DF) or multiple‑antenna triangulation to estimate the approximate location of the transmitter.

Signal Info: Displays signal strength, frequency, bandwidth, modulation type, and sometimes transmitter ID or signal fingerprints to help classify the drone.

Integration & Alerts: Often integrates with radar, EO/IR cameras, or a command console to correlate detections, generate alerts, and cue visual tracking systems.

Use Cases & Safety: Used by security teams, airports, event organizers, and critical infrastructure managers as a legal, non‑disruptive first step in a detection‑first C‑UAS approach.
