Abstract
Methods for tracking a signal origin by a spectrum analysis and management device are disclosed. Signal characteristics of other known emitters are used for obtaining a position of an emitter of a signal of interest. In one embodiment, frequency difference of arrival technique is implemented. In another embodiment, time difference of arrival technique is implemented.

A spectrum analysis system comprising:
- a radiofrequency (RF) receiver operable to capture RF data including data relating to the at least one signal of interest;
- and
- at least one device including a processor and a memory operable to receive and analyze the RF data to identify the at least one signal of interest;
- wherein the at least one device is operable to determine signal degradation data for the at least one signal of interest;
