ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an improved direction finding (DF) processing system using digitally implemented spectral analysis. Both phase and amplitude responses are calibrated by comparing each spectrum "bin", or portion of the frequency bandwidth, to the other receiver or receivers output. A random noise source is used, with a large number of noise waveforms being measured and averaged. The average responses are then compared. The difference for each spectrum bin is stored in a passband calibration table. When the direction of origin of a signal of interest is later calculated using the difference in spectra for each bin, the value in the calibration table is first subtracted out.
