• G01S 3/4 adjusting orientation of a single directivity characteristic to produce maximum or minimum signal, e.g. rotatable loop antenna or equivalent goniometer system
• G01S 3/42 the desired condition being maintained automatically
• G01S 3/44 the adjustment being varied periodically or continuously until it is halted automatically when the desired condition is attained
