Modeling and experimental support for detection of linear conductors task authorization 5 : spectrum analyzer verification / prepared by C-CORE Project Team: Dave Green (Project Manager), Chris Fowler,...: D68-3/174-2018E-PDF

"This report is a continuation of an ongoing assessment of using higher frequencies, in particular the frequency modulation (FM) band, in order to detect linear conductors. A prior contract (C-CORE 2017) examined the feasibility of using a software defined radio (SDR) as a receiver for FM stations. By using the real signal strength indicator (RSSI) and automatic gain control (AGC) characteristics, it was possible to plot the received field strength for that station while moving the receiver across and along the linear conductor. While that study demonstrated some encouraging results, it was decided to re-execute the experiment while using a portable spectrum analyzer (SA) in order to record more spectral informationabout the received signal, with the conjecture that its superior resolution bandwidth would allow better discrimination of the signal from the noise"--Introduction, page 1.
