Abstract:
System and method for finding a direction of two or more secondary RF sources arrayed about a position of a primary RF source (X). The system includes an antenna system () coupled to a monopulse tracking system () for determining a position of a primary RF source relative to a boresight axis () of the antenna system. The system includes a monopulse direction finding system () coupled to the antenna system responsive to RF signals from two or more secondary RF sources (Y, Y) having at least one of a different frequency and a different polarization as compared to the primary RF source.
