Abstract	Locating sources of radio signals can be useful in many applications. From pointing antennas at nearby radio towers to fox hunting, being able to determine the relative location or direction to a radio transmitter can be very useful. Generally, it is necessary to have the current GPS locations of both the transmitter and the receiver. This can sometimes be infeasible, leading to the need to determine the relative direction to a radio transmitter given only the radio signal itself. This thesis designs and implements an embedded system that is able to automatically determine the direction towards a given signal relative to a receiver using only the given signal. The system is able to update to the current relative direction of the radio signal's source in real time and display the physical direction.
