The Principle of Direction_Finding
w The electric field of “incident wave” at the various
antennas is as follows:
jIl sin θ k × k i = (1, 2 ,3 , 4 )
E θi = exp( − jkr i )
4 π ωε ri
E θ i = E ( r 0 ) exp( − jkr i )
w The propagating path differences between various
antennas by the “incident wave” :
2πD
φ 12 = sin ϕ cos ϑ
λ
2πD
φ 34 = cos ϕ cos ϑ

D—length of the baseline, ?—wavelength ,?—the elevation of
“incident wave”,f —the azimuth of “incident wave”

We find that:
When D = 0.5m = 0.17λ , The PPD are extended to 176.7%;
When D = 0.5λ , The PPD are extended to 130 %
or, reduced to 70%;
When D → 1λ , The PPD’s are almost equal to 0
