Presented herein are embodiments of signal detection and location finding directed to a “Signature Detector and Direction Finder” (SDDF) add-on module. The SDDF is an add-on module to any Signal Detection System (SDS) that detects, locates, and/or tracks any type(s) of Radio Frequency (RF) signals. Even though the presented embodiments can be used with any RF signal type, the preferred targets are Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or drones, and their controllers. A goal of the SDDF add-on module is to recognize the reported signal of interest and identify its direction. The machine-learning feature enables the system (i.e. SDDF add-on module with SDS) to be deployable in various environments with flexibility in choosing the antenna type(s). The Signature Detector component of the SDDF add-on module uniquely filters drone/controller signals, hence, more accurate direction estimation of the detected signal by SDDF add-on module.
