摘要： An interferometer type DF system uses an array of five antennas (A,B,C,D,E) arranged at the apices of a regular pentagon to define five wide apertures along the sides of the pentagon and a further five apertures along the diagonals. The phases of the signals received by each antenna, are measured modulo 2.pi. and processed to give a unique bearing of the radio source to the accuracy of the widest aperture defined by the array. One method of processing the phases is to calculate from them the Fourier coefficients of the Fourier series representing the spatial phase distribution. By comparing the difference between each calculated coefficient and a corresponding order coefficient of a set of imaginary antenna phases expressed as integral multiples of 2.pi., the complete 2.pi. phase differences between the measured phases modulo 2.pi. can be found. The bearing angle of the received signal is then the phase of the vector resulting from subtracting the first order Fourier coefficient of the integral phases from the calculated first order coefficient.

摘要： A DF system using a circular array of three to eight antennas, analyses the received signals digitally by first calculating at (8) the Fourier transform of the received signals to obtain frequency information and deriving at (10) from the Fourier transform the relative phases of the received signals at each of a number of spaced sample frequencies. This phase information is then fed to a stage (12) which takes the spatial Fourier series of the phases from which the required bearing information is derived as .pi./2 minus the arctan of the ratio of the real and imaginary parts of the Fourier series taken to suitable moduli. For a four antenna array the diameter of the circular array is constrained to be less than half of the wavelength at the highest frequency of interest. For a three antenna array, the diameter is constrained to be less than one third the wavelength at the highest frequency of interest in order that the analysis should yield accurate and unambiguous bearing outputs.
