Application: Satellite system and method for geolocating a radiofrequency transmitter (Patent ID: US20240048233A1)
The patent filed by Thales SA describes a satellite system designed for radiofrequency communications and locating RF equipment. The satellite includes a reception antenna with multiple radiating elements, analogue means for frequency multiplexing signals, and transmission capabilities to a ground station for goniometry processing. The system also involves a calibration process using calibration signals transmitted from known satellite stations to determine positions and correct deviations, enabling the location of RF transmitters emitting interfering signals.
The satellite system, as outlined in the patent claims, involves a method for calibrating the system using known positions of satellite stations and goniometry processing to determine calibration deviations. It further details the process of locating RF transmitters emitting interfering signals by receiving, multiplexing, and processing RF signals to determine positions accurately. The system aims to provide precise location capabilities for RF equipment through a combination of satellite technology, ground stations, and goniometry algorithms, ensuring efficient and accurate communication operations in satellite communications systems.
