Which of the following methods is used to locate sources of noise interference or jamming?
C
Answer
Signals, emissions, and modulation
Type
A
Echolocation
B
Doppler radar
C
Radio direction finding
D
Phase locking
Answer Notes
Radio direction finding (RDF) is the practice of using specialized receivers and antennas to determine the bearing of a transmitted radio signal. By taking signal bearings from multiple geographic locations, operators can triangulate the exact physical source of noise, interference, or a jammer.
The distractors represent entirely different technologies. Doppler radar and echolocation are used to bounce signals off physical objects to determine their location or speed, while phase locking is a circuit technique used in oscillators. Only RDF is used to track down the source of an active radio emission.
