  • Patent number: 11644523
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses, systems, and methods for radio direction finding with an iterative ambiguity resolution algorithm. An antenna array may receive an emitted signal. Two or more phase shifts in the received emitted signal may be determined between two or more pairs of antennas of the antenna array. A set of possible expected phase shifts may be generated from at least two of the measured phase shift. To determine the proper one of the set of expected phase shifts, a set of initial guesses for parameters of a fitting equation may be generated and then each may be optimized to determine optimized fitting parameters. From these optimized fitting parameters a direction of arrival of the emitted signal may be determined.
