Optimization of multi-satellite constellations for GNSS spectrum monitoring applications via AOA-TDOA receivers in LEO

Asciolla, M., Blázquez-García, R., Cratere, A., Menzione, F., Dell’Olio, F. (2025) Progress in Engineering Science

Satellite-based platforms in Low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations equipped with advanced sensors can be a solution to detect and locate non-cooperative emitters, such as ground-based interferences. This article deals with the fundamental question on the distribution of the satellites within a constellation in order to improve the precision of the location estimation and addresses the problem of the spatial optimization of a cluster of satellites in LEO which are able to perform both Angle of Arrival (AOA) and Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA)…
