A STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF SYSTEMATIC ERRORS IN THE WULLENWEBER DIRECTION FINDING SYSTEM.
Abstract
Through the technique of digital simulation, the effects of certain systematic errors in the components of a Wullenweber direction finding system on the accuracy of bearings determined with this system are studied. Specifically, the errors considered include the complete elimination of one cable, a phase change of 180 degrees in one cable, and a sinusoidal distribution of phase errors in the cables of one quadrant of the system. It is shown that these errors are relatively small for signals whose elevation angle of arrival is close to the cophasal angle of the antenna scanner, but that the errors increase significantly at higher elevation angles and higher frequencies.
