Research Summary

A Radio Direction Finder (RDF) is an electronic device used to determine the direction from which a radio signal is being transmitted. It operates by capturing radio waves with an antenna and using techniques such as phase comparison or amplitude comparison to ascertain the signal's direction. RDFs are essential in navigation, search and rescue operations, and military applications, where they help locate the source of a transmission, whether it be a distress signal, an enemy transmitter, or a navigational beacon. Modern RDF systems can integrate with other technologies like GPS for enhanced accuracy and functionality.
