Abstract: Angle of arrival (AoA) in a radio frequency (RF) network having radio devices at unknown positions is determined by using a specially built RF locator device. Any kind of modulation comprising, for example but not limited to, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) symbols can be decoded by the RF locator device using complex correlation. The RF locator device is connected to an antenna array with multiple antenna elements that are switched between DSSS symbols. The RF locator device determines correlation magnitude and angle data of the radio device for further processing. Collecting DSSS symbols with CFO compensated correlation magnitude and phase results from different locations enables electrical beam forming for determining the AoA by sweeping this beam around an angle of view of the antenna array. This AoA determination may be performed on multiple channels and packets to reduce the effects of multi-path propagation.
