A direction finding antenna array comprises at least a first dipole antenna element 14, a second dipole antenna element 16 and a third dipole antenna element 18. The dipole elements comprise respective first ends 14.1, 16.1, 18.1, respective second ends 14.2, 16.2, 18.2 and a respective feed-point 14.3, 16.3, 18.3. The first, second and third dipole elements are arranged in spaced relationship relative to one another in a non-linear pattern. In respect of each dipole element in the array (and taking dipole element 14 as an example), the first end 14.1 is connected by first and second electrical connections 24, 26 to the first end of each of two adjacent dipole elements 16, 18 in the array and the second end 14.2 is connected by third and fourth electrical connections 28, 30 to the second end of each of the two adjacent dipole elements 16, 18.
A direction finding antenna array comprising at least a first dipole antenna element, a second dipole antenna element and a third dipole antenna element, each comprising respective first ends, respective second ends and a respective feed-point, wherein the first, second and third dipole elements are arranged in spaced relationship relative to one another in a non-linear pattern, wherein, in respect of each dipole element in the array:
