| Popis: | Wideband antennas may be designed to have an impulse response that is direction dependent. This property can be used for angle-of-arrival estimation using a single fixed antenna, without the need for an array or antenna rotation. The method is demonstrated using a simple candelabra-shaped monopole operating in the 1–3 GHz range. A known transmitted pulse and high signal-to-noise ratio are needed, and the method is not as accurate or robust as conventional methods. However, it can add direction finding capability to a wideband communication system without additional hardware requirements. |
