Comparing Real-Time Signal Processing Platforms for Direction Finding in Electronic Support Receiver

This thesis investigates the computing capabilities of three distinct platforms for radio direction finding (RDF) applications in electronic warfare (EW) systems: the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, Intel NUC NUC7i5BNH, and NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin 64GB. RDF plays a critical role in locating radio emitters, demanding real-time processing for precise signal data analysis. The study aims to determine the maximum sampling frequency that each platform can maintain while meeting real-time requirements and identifies the most suitable RDF algorithm for platform assessment. The best-suited algorithm was found to be Phase Interferometry. Results indicate that the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B achieves a sampling frequency of 13.08 MHz, the Intel NUC NUC7i5BNH maintains 12.68 MHz, and the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin 64GB performs at 399.45 MHz (60W), 229.82 MHz (50W), 83.88 MHz (30W), and 54.12 MHz (15W).
