Considering frequency-separable RF transmitters with intermittent and periodic emission patterns, %and unknown but bounded periods the SMA evaluates set estimates of the source locations and a set free of sources. Simulation results show that SMA outperforms a Bayesian baseline approach in terms of localization accuracy and convergence speed.","short_abstract":"This paper proposes a set-membership approach (SMA) to localize radio frequency (RF) sources observed by a collaborating fleet of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
