ABSTRACT:
A radio direction finding antenna system including four identical radiating elements uniformly distributed on a circle around a conductive mast and designed to determine the angle of incidence of the propagation direction of a plane electro-magnetic wave relative to a reference direction, wherein the radiating elements are associated in first and second pairs of opposite radiating elements in which the elements are inverted relative to each other, and wherein the antenna system includes a processor unit comprising firstly a first matched power halver receiving the signals provided by the first pair of radiating elements and a second matched power halver identical to the first and receiving the signals provided by the second pair of radiating elements, and secondly a 3 dB-90.degree. type hybrid junction receiving the signals delivered by the matched power halvers and providing two output signals at a phase difference of 2.theta.-1/2.pi.. The invention is applicable to radio location.
