Claim:
1. A method of estimating a location of an interference signal source, the method comprising: using a first antenna configured to receive an interference signal from the interference signal source; using a second antenna arranged proximate to the first antenna and configured to receive global positioning system (GPS) signals; determining an initial trend in variation in power of the interference signal from the interference signal source relative to a position of the second antenna by iteratively performing steps including setting, upon determining the initial trend, a current trend to be the initial trend; directing a repositioning of the second antenna by iteratively performing steps including determining an estimate of the location of the interference signal source upon obtaining a minimum number of usable measurements and observing in the current trend a peak measurement of power exceeding a minimum threshold; determining a confidence in the estimate; and indicating the location of the interference signal source, upon determining the estimate, on a map presented on a display; wherein the indication of the location includes an indication of the confidence in the estimate.
