  • Patent number: 5111210
    Abstract: A microwave signal detector system provides a visual indication of the relative bearing of a remote source of microwave energy. An antenna for receiving said microwave energy includes a plurality of microwave-sensitive elements arranged in a planar circular array for receiving pulses from all azimuth directions. Each microwave sensing element is adapted to monitor energy received in a predetermined angular sectors and includes a horn element and a microwave energy responsive diode disposed within said horn element. The diode is connected as part of a voltage divider to develop a noise signal corresponding to the microwave energy received at each sector resulting from vibrations in the diode which occur at an audio frequency. The resultant developed noise signal is digitized and compared to a predetermined threshold to provide an output control signal when the developed signal exceeds the value of the threshold. The output signal drives an LED indicator.
