STUDIES AND INVESTIGATIONS LEADING TO THE DESIGN OF A RADIO DIRECTION FINDER SYSTEM FOR THE MF-HF-VHF RANGE

Abstract

Identifiers: Sadist. Research concerns the design of a radio direction finding system for the MF-HF-VHF range. Instrumentation for the propagation research task was completed. A wide-base amplitude comparison system using the beverage antenna as the directive element was constructed. Radio direction finder systems of the wide-base phase comparison type were proposed as having the properties which are needed for this investigation. Certain novel techniques in radio direction finding were developed. Results and recommendations are given in sufficient detail to permit their duplication. (Author)
