摘要: A method of measuring the bearing angles and elevation incoming radio waves is described. In this two aerials are used, one which moves in a circular path several wavelengths diameter. The phases signals from compared system does not depend on their relative amplitudes it shown that enables measurements to be made even when there considerable differential fading between aerials. Some experimental records given yielding arrival waves.
