Abstract: Interferometric angle-of-arrival (AOA) ambiguities due to local multipath reflections are resolved by measuring the received phase differences of one or more pairs of antenna elements of the interferometer array, constructing hypotheses from unwrapped phase pairs that correspond to potential AOA solutions, and selecting the hypothesis that most likely represents the true AOA of the signal emitter based on processed unwrapped data that has been corrected through the application of a priori calibration terms selected on the bases of the candidate hypotheses.

Abstract: A leaf blower having a back pack frame. The frame can support a leaf blower unit on an operator's back with the use of shoulder straps. The frame generally has an L-shape with an intake restrictor ring that can cooperate with an air intake section of a blower mounted to the back pack frame to substantially prevent intrusion of foreign objects into the blower unit and to reduce noise emanating from the blower air intake section.
