  • Direction finding antenna system and method
    Patent number: 8334808
    Abstract: An antenna system for estimating the DOA of arriving signals, comprising: a first omnidirectional antenna; and a second omnidirectional antenna, which is located coaxially above the first omnidirectional antenna at a predefined distance D. The first omnidirectional antenna is configured to transform the received arriving signal into output signals, and the second omnidirectional antenna is configured to transform the received signal into a reference signal. The antenna system allows extracting: a first phase difference between the phase of the first output signal and the reference phase and a second phase difference between the phase of the second output signal and the reference phase, where each phase difference includes a first component proportional to the azimuth of said arriving signal and a second component corresponding to the elevation of the arriving signal, from which the azimuth and the elevation of the arriving signal can be extracted.
