RF bearings for site monitoring
Measure the direction of supported radio signals from 300 MHz to 6 GHz with scanning from 70 MHz to 8 GHz for detection.
PASSIVE RF DETECTION · DIRECTION FINDING
DR200-TD-A RF Drone Direction Finder
DR200-TD-A combines passive RF detection and direction finding for a fixed monitoring point. It also decodes available identity and location data from supported DID/RID signals, receives compatible analog FPV video and records monitoring activity.
- Fixed monitoring point
- RF bearings
- Passive reception

RF detection, bearings and supported signal decoding in one fixed monitoring device.
Protocol-based identity and location
View available drone and controller data decoded from supported DID/RID signals. Availability depends on the protocol, model and transmitted information.
Analog FPV reception
Receive and view compatible analog video signals within 500 MHz–6.2 GHz through the configured monitoring software.
Maps, alerts and records
Review monitoring alerts, GIS map information, event logs and replay through the supplied platform.
Workstation connections
LAN, WAN and USB interfaces connect the receiver to the monitoring workstation and data workflows.
Optional signal learning
Signal acquisition and AI-assisted UAV database expansion are optional configuration items.

FAQ
DR200-TD-A: frequently asked questions
What does RF direction finding provide?
It provides the bearing of a supported radio signal. Drone or controller coordinates come from supported protocol data when available; an RF bearing does not by itself provide a complete geographic position.
Does direction finding cover the entire 70 MHz–8 GHz detection band?
The specification separates 70 MHz–8 GHz detection from 300 MHz–6 GHz direction finding. Analog FPV reception is specified separately at 500 MHz–6.2 GHz.
Which configuration details should be confirmed?
Confirm the supported drone models and protocols, site installation, software and analog video compatibility. Signal acquisition and AI-assisted database expansion are optional.
