ABSTRACT:
An instantaneous, omnidirectional direction finding system for locating an incoming wave over a complete 360.degree. arc in space employing a circular antenna array and a fixed phase shifting network for deriving from said array a differently time phase shifted signal for each different spatial direction. The array observes all spatial directions continuously, as opposed to a sequential angular scanning technique. In a preferred system, the phase shifting network provides a plurality of output modes wherein the incoming wave is defined by different phase displaced signals that are compared and quantized to obtain a digital code representing direction.
