Full Title

Direction-finders for determining the direction from which infrasonic, sonic, ultrasonic or electromagnetic waves, or particle emission, not having a directional significance, are being received > using radio waves > Systems for determining direction or deviation from predetermined direction > using amplitude comparison of signals derived sequentially from receiving antennas or antenna systems having differently-oriented directivity characteristics or from an antenna system having periodically-varied orientation of directivity characteristic > derived from different combinations of signals from separate antennas, e.g. comparing sum with difference
