Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting and locating a signal source. The system contains an antenna array with antennas, a control unit that is connected to the antenna array, and an evaluation unit to receive data from the control unit. The antennas are designed to acquire a signal emitted by the signal source. The control unit is designed to ascertain a cross-correlation or covariance matrix of a signal received from the antenna array, and to transmit the cross-correlation or covariance matrix to the evaluation unit. The evaluation unit is designed to ascertain a position of the signal source on the basis of the cross-correlation or covariance matrix received from the control unit.
