We present a new method for localizing rotating, directional interrogators based on aircraft interrogator replies, which compared to previous work only requires the reception of aircraft transponders using one receiver on the ground. The data used was obtained with a proof-of-concept implementation of a distributed 1030/1090 MHz Spectrum Monitoring System based on Software-Defined Radios (SDRs).
