RADIO INTERFEROMETER RADIO INTERFEROMETER

摘要

An interferometer system for measuring the elevation angle of a remote radio source, comprising a linear array of equallyspaced aerial elements, a series of phase discriminators, each coupled to a common aerial and to one of the other aerials in order to measure phase differences between the incident waves, and signal processing units for averaging out the measured phase differences and to derive therefrom an indication of the elevation angle of the radiation incident on the aerial array.
