Abstract:

Sensing electromagnetic emissions for offensive and defensive purposes is becoming increasingly important, and software defined radios (SDRs) provide a wide range of electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) sensing capability. This thesis examines the applicability and effectiveness of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technology for electromagnetic sensing and analysis by producing an SDR sensor network prototype. A high-level cost-effectiveness model is developed to produce insights for decision makers regarding the employment of this type of technology. Testing and experimentation suggest that SDRs maybe employed as accurate EM sensors with continued research and prototype refinement.
