SYNCHRONIZATION OF SDR-RECEIVERS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF DIRECTION FINDING OF RADIO EMISSION SOURCES
Abstract
The algorithm of synchronization of independent SDR-receivers intended for direction finding of radio
emission sources is considered. The device has been implemented and the synchronization algorithm has been
tested
