Abstract
A measuring device for direction finding of an electromagnetic signal includes an antenna-element for receiving the electromagnetic signal and processing means for determining the direction of the electromagnetic signal and displaying the direction of the electromagnetic signal. The processing means further include direction uncertainty determination means (322) for determining a direction uncertainty angle of the direction of the electromagnetic signal. The processing means are set up for displaying the direction uncertainty angle on display means.
Claims12
A measuring device for direction finding of an electromagnetic signal, comprising:
- an antenna-element with at least two antennas for receiving the electromagnetic signal,
- a display,
- a processor configured to determine the direction of the electromagnetic signal, and
- direction uncertainty determination means for determining a direction uncertainty angle of the direction of the electromagnetic signal,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- display a circle indicating a search area on the display,
- display the direction of the electromagnetic signal as a line originating at a center of the circle and pointing in the direction of the electromagnetic signal on the display, and
- display the direction uncertainty angle as a circle connected to an end of the line pointing in the direction of the electromagnetic signal on the display.
A method for direction finding of an electromagnetic signal, the method comprising:
- determining the direction of the electromagnetic signal;
- displaying a circle indicating a search area on a display device;
- displaying the direction of the electromagnetic signal as a line originating at a center of the circle and pointing in the direction of the electromagnetic signal;
- determining a direction uncertainty angle of the direction of the electromagnetic signal;
- and
- displaying the direction uncertainty angle as a circle connected to an end of the line or the arrow pointing in the direction of the electromagnetic signal on the display device.
