Bases of Radio Direction Finding. Part 1

Abstract

Radio direction finders are widely used in air and marine transport for the solution of navigational problems (position finding of movable object, flight toward airport, ships in distress, and so forth); they are applied also for other target/purposes (research on the questions of radiowave propagation, observation of space vehicles and so forth). Known direction-finding methods are continuously being improved, increasingly more difficult methods are being developed/and progress is made toward increasing the accuracy and sensitivity, as new direction-finding methods, improved theory, the frequency band and the field of application of direction finders are increased. All the enumerated questions are illuminated in periodic technical literature; however, until now, have not been systematized. In this book are presented the general theory of direction finding, procedures of calculation of direction finders and their cell/elements, and the errors of direction finding for their elimination.
