  • Locating device for locating a source emitting a short-duration high power microwave pulse
    Patent number: 9423483
    Abstract: A locating device locates a source emitting a short-duration high power microwave pulse. The locating device contains at least three separately disposed receiving antennas that are not disposed on a line, each with an associated detection device for detecting the point in time of the reception at the antenna of the high power microwave pulse. At least one short time measurement device is provided for determining at least two time differences between the points in time of reception of each two of the detection devices. A computing device is provided for calculating a location of the origin of the high power microwave pulse based on at least two of the measured time differences.
