I've been wanting to experiment with SDR triangulation. There are some off the shelf options, but I think it would be fun to cobble something together using dongles.

https://khanfar-spectrum-analyzer.web.app/ also has some phase-based direction-finding software and upcoming hardware.

For triangulation though, if you have a reference signal at a known location, TDoA (time difference of arrival) requires less hardware (just a single receiver at each location, e.g. an RTL-SDR). I don't know of any open-source software which does that though I've been slowly building some for my own use (it's pretty janky at the moment).

You could perhaps compare notes with the author of [0] who did manage to achieve multilateration with rtl-sdrs using TDoA.
