  • Patent number: 10761205
    Abstract: A system (1) and a method for finding the direction (?) of a target (6) in a detection plane, e.g. the azimuthal plane. The system comprises a plurality of transceivers (2a, 2b, 2c) which transmit continuous-wave radio signals (4) oriented in distinct main directions of transmission (5a, 5b, 5c) and receive a return radio signal (7) reflected from a target (6), wherein the transceivers have partially overlapping angular fields of view. A controller (9) analyzes the transmitted and return signals by calculating signal amplitudes associated with the return signals and determining the direction (?) of the target as a direction of a mean signal vector obtained from signal vectors having as a modulus the signal amplitudes of respective transceivers.
