Radio direction-finding techniques that use amplitude-trigonometric interpolation between signals received at a circular antenna array are reexamined. The accuracy of this class of direction-finding system is limited by interpolation, gain mistracking, and additive-noise errors. The channel gain mistracking error is shown to be significantly lower than previously estimated. Typical calculations show that the trigonometric interpolation technique is an order of magnitude more accurate than previously supposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
