Polarization-Modulation Method of Measuring the Bearing of a Moving Object From Orthogonal Elliptically Polarized Signals of a Radio Beacon

详细

A polarization-modulation method of estimating the bearing of a moving object using a radio beacon transmitting two mutually orthogonal elliptically polarized radio signals is considered. The signals received onboard the moving object are subject to polarization modulation. The bearing is estimated at the output from a single-channel receiver at the frequency multiple to the polarization modulation frequency.
