  • Phase and time-difference precision direction finding system
    Patent number: 5724047
    Abstract: A precision direction finding system for making precision angle of arrival estimates for a signal received through two antenna elements separated in space. Phase interferometry is used to determine a precise angle of arrival, with multiple ambiguities due to the periodic nature of the phase difference related to geometric angle. The interferometric ambiguities are resolved using the time difference of arrival (TDOA) of the signal at the two antenna elements. TDOA is measured using leading edge envelope detection for simple pulsed signals, and predetection correlation for phase and frequency modulated signals.
