ABSTRACT:
A receiver for locating a source of RF radiation received by a four-arm spiral antenna having an angular measurement frame normal to the antenna axis, including a detection circuit for detecting signals received from each of the spiral arms in response to receipt of RF radiation by the antenna; a first comparison circuit for comparing signals detected from a first opposite pair of the spiral arms to produce a first signal that is proportional to a first function of the frequency of the received RF radiation and the angular displacement of the radiation source in the measurement frame; a second comparison circuit for comparing signals detected from the remaining opposite pair of the spiral arms to produce a second signal that is proportional to a second function of the frequency of the received RF radiation and the angular displacement of the radiation source in the measurement frame; and a processing circuit for processing the first and second signals to produce third and fourth signals that are proportional to the angular displacement and independent of the frequency of the received RF radiation.
