[0031] Please see Figure 1 The frequency sweeping module 2 adopts uplink and downlink discrete algorithms and time-division synchronous filtering technology, which can separate uplink and downlink signals and interference signals, and quickly locate and identify 4 / 5GTDD network interference signals.
[0032] This technology improves the accuracy of interference signal identification, reduces false alarms and missed alarms, and can quickly distinguish interference signals in complex spectrum environments, capture weak interference signals, and provide reliable data support for subsequent interference source localization.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 The spectrum analyzer 3 is a ground-based handheld spectrum analyzer. The spectrum analyzer 3 is wirelessly connected to the UAV platform 1 and is used to receive and analyze the interference signal test data transmitted back by the UAV platform 1.
[0034] The wireless connectivity allows the Spectrum Analyzer 3 to be deployed more flexibly, without being limited by geographical location. At the same time, the real-time data transmission and analysis capabilities enable the ground control unit to respond quickly and take necessary measures to eliminate interference.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 The ground control terminal 4 has an APP front-end interface, which is used to control the flight trajectory of the UAV, set frequency sweep test tasks and parameters, display signal analysis results in real time, and support taking pictures, screenshots and calibrating frequency direction finding functions.

[0048] The radio frequency processing module and processor module are responsible for receiving and processing radio frequency signals from the frequency sweeping module, converting them into digital signals that can be analyzed and identified. Then, the communication box communicates with other network devices at high speed through the 5G network, transmitting frequency sweeping data and interference signal analysis results. The SIM slot allows the communication box 9 to access the mobile communication network via a SIM card, enabling remote monitoring and management. The Type-C interface is an advanced interface type with fast charging and high-speed data transmission, which can easily charge the communication box 9, ensuring that it maintains sufficient power during long-term use. At the same time, it also facilitates the export of data or software updates within the communication box.
[0049] Furthermore, the diverse interface configurations enable the drone platform to flexibly exchange and communicate with other devices, meeting different data transmission needs. These interfaces also provide the drone platform with powerful scalability, allowing users to connect various external devices as needed.
[0050] Working principle: During use, during flight preparation, the ground control terminal 4 operates the interference location software to set the target frequency band and collect data. The UAV platform 1, equipped with the frequency sweeping module 2, flies to at least one target fixed point. The frequency sweeping module 2 works, and the UAV platform 1 rotates 360 degrees at the target fixed point to perform measurement work, measuring the test data of the interference signal at the target fixed point, outputting the results, and sending the test data to the ground control terminal 4 for precise positioning. The UAV performs a three-point spin test, and with the cooperation of the detection software at the ground control terminal 4, the location of the interference source is quickly and effectively determined using the three-line positioning method to resolve the interference, assess whether the interference source is causing uplink interference, and output reasonable solutions for the target interference source.
