  • Method for direction finding and direction finding antenna unit
    Patent number: 10677878
    Abstract: A method for direction finding of at least one incoming signal with a direction finding antenna unit is described, the direction finding antenna unit comprising at least an antenna system having several antenna elements. One antenna element is used as a reference antenna element. A subset of the several antenna elements is selected when the reference antenna element detects the incoming signal, the selected subset ensuring the best signal-to-noise ratio of all possible subsets of the several antenna elements with respect to the reference antenna element. Phase difference and orientation of the incoming signal are related to the reference antenna element. Further, a direction finding antenna unit is described.
