  • Linear interferometer antenna capable of making error-free azimuth and elevation angle measurements
    Patent number: 5955990
    Abstract: A linear interferometer antenna for making azimuth angle measurements and elevation angle measurements of an identified target. The antenna includes six radiating elements which receive signals sent from the target, a beam forming network, and a processing unit. Four of the six radiating elements are positioned on a first plane and the remaining two radiating elements are positioned on a second plane. The second plane is parallel to and positioned at a predetermined distance from the first plane.
