An improved system for determining the direction of impingement of a received energy signal, of the type having a plurality of receivers forming pairs of mutually perpendicular dipoles for receiving the orthogonal components of the impinging signal, apparatus for measuring these received components in order to produce signals indicative of the direction of impingement, and a display device connected to the output of the measuring apparatus. The measuring apparatus is provided with a plurality of amplifier circuits each of which is connected to a respective one of the receivers for producing a constant amplitude representation of its received signal. The use of these amplifiers helps to eliminate errors that would otherwise occur in the measurements due to inaccuracies in the measured amplitudes of the received dipole signals.
In a system for the determination of the direction of impingement of a received energy signal including receiver means composed of a plurality of receivers constituting pairs of mutually perpendicular dipoles for receiving orthogonal components of the impinging signal, means connected to the receivers for measuring the unfiltered received components of signals for producing output signals indicative of the direction of impingement of the received signal, and means connected to the measuring means for displaying the direction of impingement of the received signal, the improvement wherein the measuring means comprises a plurality of amplifier circuits each of which includes an automatic gain control amplifier and is connected to a respective receiver for producing a constant amplitude representation of its received signal.
