  Abstract

In this paper, we consider wireless localization of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). We use a directional antenna to estimate the maximum received power of frequency modulatuon (FM) radio signals, which are considered as a type of signals of opportunity, to perform direction finding and determine the location of FM transmitters. After that, we apply an angle of arrival (AoA)-based triangulation method. Furthermore, we propose a received signal strength (RSS) estimated power weighting model to refine the final UAV location estimation, leading to the proposed RSS estimated power-weighted triangulation approach. Performance of the proposed method is verified through simulations in various channel noise environments.
