SlL^i-A*J ^"t^ *: I FORETORD As part f its general research prgram, the Radi Directin Find- ing Research Labratry at the university f Illinis has undertaken t study new systems fr radi directin finding. One f the new systems prpsed, -was a "Dppler-Effect" system. The initial theretical wrk by this grup n this system was carried ut by Mr. J. Linel Bulet and (10 was written up in the Masters' Degree thesis referred t in this reprt. Unfrtunately, due t a prlnged illness, it became necessary fr Mr. Bulet t withdraw frm schl and further wrk n the prblem. The wrk was cntinued by Mr. Jhn Andersn and Mr, Thmas O'Meara, and this present reprt has been written by them. Sn after the prblem was undertaken, it was fund that sme experi- mental wrk n this idea had already been carried ut at Camp Cle Signal Labratry, the wrk being summarized in a series f patent applicatins by Paul Hansell, Cnsiderably later, there came t the attentin f this (3) grup the British reprt by C. W. Earp and R. M. Gdfrey n»radi Directin Finding by the Cyclical Differential Measurement f Phase." This excellent paper discussed in sme detail certain aspects f the thery and described a wrking system which had been built. The theretical apprach in this reprt is aimed chiefly at determin- ing the ability f the system t discriminate against interfering waves such as thse prduced by site reflectins. Several definite cnclusins in this respect have been drawn and are stated herein. A 'mdel» Dppler Effect system has been built and is in peratin. At present, it is being tried ut and cmpared with a simple Adcck systsa n the labra- try* s R-D-F System Analyzer. The results f these tests are t be given in a later reprt. E, C» Jrdan \

6 II ABSTRACT This reprt develps and discusses the basic thery f the Dppler Type f Directin Finder. The mst practical antenna system fr this purpse appears t be a circular array f fixed antennas with gradual r abrupt switching frm antenna t antenna arund the circle, A mathematical discussin f site errrs is included fr the purpse f shwing the effect f antenna aperture upn reductin f such errrs» It is shwn that the Dppler Directin Finder ffers n 4 advantage ver the Adcck System when the antenna aperture is a small fractin f a wavelength, but that an increase in aperture f the Dppler sn reduces site errrs t the rder f instrumentatin errrs. This cmparisn with Adcck Systems is made n a figure f merit basis. Sme discussin f-antenna cmmutatin difficulties and number f antennas necessary t place the Dppler in the class f wide aperture systems is included. \

7 T crrelate this with the previus discussin it must be recalled that the rat f change f phase with time is prprtinal t the instantaneus frequency. That is* A f. = _JL J± (8) lnst where j fr this case - u c t + cs ( 0 - u r t) TC d 2TC dt Then 2rt f inst = w c + "^ sin ( P - u r t ) (9) f inst = f c + -^- sin ( 9 - a) r t) (10) A The instantaneus frequency may be expressed as a functin f the linear velcity, v r = w r r, f the antenna and as a functin f the free space prpagatin velcity, c = Af c, f the incming wave, f inst " V A + -p- sin (B - u> r t)l (" > Ntice the similarity between (11) and (5), the nly difference being that the relative velcity is varying as a sinusidal functin. The expressin (7), if phase detected, will yield a term rcd cs ( 9 - w_t ) ( 12 ) \ which is sinusidal in nature at the frequency f rtatin f the antenna, and has a phase dependent upn Q, the angle f arrival f the incming wave. It is pssible t btain a sinusidal vltage frm the antenna mtin directly rd,^ s cs (u r t) (13) which when cmpared with (12) will give a means f determining «Thus the basic requirements fr a directin finder are fulfilled, - 3~ _^^f \

8 (b) Nn-Cperative Systems In rder fr the directin finder t be classified as a Dppler type it must pssess the equivalent f a mving antenna element f sme frm. Hwever, this des nt stipulate the path the antenna must fllw. In the thesis, previusly mentined, Mr. Bulet analyzed the case f an antenna mving at a unifrm speed n a linear path and retracing its curse peridically. This prduces a frequency change depending upn speed f mtin and upn the angle between the path f the antenna and the incming wave. If the speed is cnstant the frequency change is a measure f the angle. One difficulty arises when the signal arrives frm the same angle n the ther side f the axis. T remve this ambiguity a secnd antenna is made t traverse a path perpendicular t the first. What appears t be the mst practical case t cnsider is the revlutin f the antenna abut a vertical axis as was discussed in the intrductin. Greater linear circumferential speeds are btained in this case and the prblem f getting the antennae back t their starting pints in infinitesimal time des nt enter, as it des in the linear path. Certain transients present in the linear case are nt present in the circular case, making fr smther peratin«in the final analysis the rtating antenna will be replaced by a circular array f antennas, with electrnic switching frm antenna t antenna. (c) Cperative Systems These tw types f Dppler Directin Finders are classified as nn-cperative, since n knwledge is knwn f the nature f the transmitting surce. It shuld be mentined that this type f directin finder can be cnverted t the s-called beacn system by reversing the rle u mmffjulvff^.mn y t JW" u, ij,, *g Jm* "**,\»mkr.

It becmes necessary t transmit a synchrnizing pulse, which -will be received alng with the phase mdulated wave«, Since the phase f the phase envelpe will vary accrding t the azimuthal angle frm the statin, a cmparisn with the synchrnizing pulse will give the radial line frm the statin. 5 -

10 IV CIRCULAR ANTENNA ARRAY FOR DOPPLER (a) Advantages Cnsider the afrementined rtating antenna and pick a set f representative values fr the variables invlved. Assuming a rtating arm, ne meter in length, an angular velcity f 60n radians/sec. (1800 R.P.M.) the maximum instantaneus frequency difference will be given by (9) A f niax =.628 x 10* 6 f c cycles/sec. (13) The immediate imprtant bservatin is the small value f Af unless the frequency invlved is very large, r the practical length f the arm is exceeded. The pssibility f prducing an effect similar t thstt described fr the single rtating antenna, by using fixed antennae cnnected successively t a receiver wa3 investigated. This system shuld be strictly referred t as indirect Dppler since the mtin is simulated by rapid switching. One f the advantages f this indirect apprach is the speed at which electrnic switching can be accmplished, thus eliminating the prblem f small Af«In additin, the use f fixed antennas makes it pssible t build arrays f large aperture a very necessary requirement fr accurate bearings in the presence f site reflectins. Bth British and American systems t date utilize a circular array f antennae with electrnic switching. T appreciate the shape f phase variatin invlved, plate (3) shws an array with a signal arriving at an angle f 45 azimuthal, and als the phase f the r«f. vltage picked up as cmmutatin prgresses arund the circle. If the number f antennae used is sufficient^ the step functin f phase, when detected,, will yield a fundamental sinusidal variatin similar t the rtating antenna. This variatin will change phase with the angle f incming wave in a linear manner, again giving the basic requirement fr a Dppler System* \

11 -f^-lt- '' f». «1pl L _ (b) Law f Cupling The abrupt switching frm ne antenna t anther presents prblems in detectin inasmuch as discrete jumps in phase cause accmpanying infinite frequency change, Eq. (8). T alleviate this a law f cupling t the antennae was studied. Cnsider tw elements in a circular array f fixed antennae. Call ne element the "nth»' element and the next, the "(n + l$h)" element* It is desired t find a law f cupling as switching is cmpleted between the tw antennae such that the vltage utput will have a sinusidal variatin f phase. Let the vltage received by the "nth" antenna be. 2nr r n 2K (n - 1),,, /,. \ e n = cs { w t + - cs [9 r J / and vmj by the»( n+ 1) th "antenna be e n+l = cs t wt + ~~\ cs ( 9 - )] (15) where the ntatin is the same as plate (3). The additin f these tw vltages with the apprpriate law f cupling wuld be required t take the frm: That is; A cs [ ait + - cs ( 9-2n;at)] (l&) A.

14 V DISCUSSION OF SITS ERRORS (a) Cnstant Phase Frnt Surface The errrs encuntered in Directin Finders can be classified in general as fllws: (1) Prpagatin Errrs The greatest surce f this type f errr is the nnunifnn nature f the insphere which gives rise t a lateral deviatin f the main r desired ray» Fr the mst part these errrs are randm and may vary rapidly (within the minute) r slwly (within the hur)«the apprach t the eliminatin f errrs due t these variatins seems t be the applicatin f mathematics f prbability» Spt readings are taken ver a perid f time and the reading f greatest prbability calculated«the insphere can als be respnsible fr the arrival f several rays f slightly different azimuth» Minimizing f these errrs als fllws statistical lines. (2) Instrumentatin Errrs These are errrs that ccur in the equipment and as a result f the type f equipment used» Plarizatin errrs, that is errrs due t randm plarizatin f the incming signal, are in general classified under this heading since their effect can be virtually eliminated by prper antenna arrays. Errrs due t bservatin by the peratr can als fall under this heading \

15 «w«gotiawj«^ re'^fejjii^ij^j^^^^c!v~^ Ti^" (3) Site Errrs These are errrs due t reradiatin and reflectin frm bjects in the lcalef the directin finder» Scattering and reradiatin by inic cluds are classified here since their effect is the same as that fr near-by bjects. This sectin is mainly interested in the subject f site errrs since their effect can be materially reduced by the chice f the prper type f directin finder«. When examining the field due t a single incming wave, a cn- siderable distance frm its surce, it will be fund that the surface defining a cnstant phase is a plane perpendicular t the directin f travel. Any directin finder that perates n the phase frnt principle, (such as the Dppler) will indicate an errrless bearing in the directin frm which the wave is arriving. Hwever, if there is present anther signal f appreciable amplitude and f arbitrary phase and directin f arrival, the phase frnt indicated abve will n lnger be plane. The effect f the interfering signal is t crrugate the surface in a manner depending upn the relative characteristics f the tw signals«. When the resultant vltage due t the space additin f the tw signals is examined, it is fund t describe a standing wave pattern with pints f minimum and maximum amplitude spaced at unifrm intervals* The phase f the resultant vltage als fllws definite space patterns and, t get a line f cnstant phase, it is necessary t set the expressin fr phase at any pint equal t a cnstant and plt the resultant curve.

(b) Similarity f all Small Aperture Systems If a directin finder with small aperture, that is small dimensins f antenna array, were perating at different pints alng the cnstant phase frnt surface, it is clear that the directin f arrival indicated wuld be a perpendicular t the tangent f the phase frnt curve at the specified pint. Since this phase frnt curve is nt a straight line, different pints wuld indicate different directins f arrival«it will be seen in a later sectin that maximum errr in bearing will ccur at pints f maximum and minimum amplitude f standing wave pattern and that at ne pint between a maximum and minimum there will be indicated' the true bearing. Frm phase frnt cnsideratins, it can be cncluded that any directin finder perating n phase frnt principle and with aperture small in wave length will be subject t the same site errrs. It might seem that a directin finder using an antenna system with a very narrw beam might be an exceptin t this statement if the antenna culd be made t have small aperture. Hwever, it has been shwn* that such antenna* systems are nt practical, because f extremely lw sensitivity. Thus t get the desired sensitivity, it must be made large in wavelengths and falls in. the grup f wide- aperture systems. *»Small High Gain Arrays fr Directin Finding», N. laru, Technical Eeprt N.6, Univ. f 111. Directin Finding Research Labratry, September 1, :l_z--i

17 Nw if the aperture f the system is made larger such that the antenna perates ver a greater distance n the phase frnt curve, the maximum errr variatins wuld be less». This is smewhat analgus t the length f wheelbase n an autmbile. On a rad f given rughness, the lnger the wheelbase, the smther the ride. The Adcck System des nt lend itself t wide aperture peratin due t ambiguities which arise. Hwever, the Dppler System is theretically nt restricted n this accunt and can be increased in aperture t the limit f physical struc- ture and electrnic equipment techniques. This tends t put it in the class f wide aperture systems f which there are several ther examples» The site errrs f the Dppler System under different apertures will be given in a later sectin. When increasing the aperture f the Dppler, frm a practical viewpint, the tw prblems encuntered when fixed antennas are used are: where t sample the field, and hw t detect the resultant phase variatin. Cnsider the phase frnt diagram (Plate 5) and ntice that with a Dppler System f nly fur antennas, prperly spaced, it is pssible t get n phase variatin whatsever as the receiver is switched frm antenna t antenna. That is, lcate the antennas at pints f equal phase* This is an extreme example, but it is evident that t get a phase variatin that is at all clse t the desired, the number f antennas must be suffi- cient t prevent ambiguities and give a phase pattern that is gemetri- cally cnsistent. Because f limitatins n the phase discriminatr emplyed, the steps between antennas must nt be greater than apprximately 90, This requires that the number f antenna be prprtinal t the aperture when the aperture is very large» When using small apertures, the number f antennas must be enugh t cause the fundamental f the step phase variatin t fllw the angle f arrival f incming signal. The least number f antennas that will give a shifting phase variatin is three but aperture requirements set the lwer limit at arund 6 r 8 antennas \

18 .I..»* VI ANALYSIS OF EFFECT OF AN INTERFERING WAVE (a) General Mathematical Discussin When ne r mre interfering signals arrive with randm directin and time phase -with respect t the desired signal, the effect upn the Dppler Directin Finder indicatin is t change the effective psitin f the desired phase variatin and thus bring abut a bearing errr. Fr wide aperture Dppler Systems, the larger in amplitude f the tw signals will make by far the largest cntributin t the resultant phase variatin. The strnger signal will «take ver" the bearing in a manner analgus t the "capture effect" shwn by the strnger signal in a wide-band frequency mdulatin system. The case which cnsiders a single interfering signal (f the same frequency) is treated mathematically in this reprt. A general frmula has been develped t give the bearing errr ( Ap ), Fig. (la) Plate 6 gives the space diagram illustrating the arrival f the primary and interfering waves. The rati f the interfering signal magnitude t that f the primary signal is designated by a, is the arbitrary angle f arrival f the interfering signal with respect t the ther, and Y is the time phase difference between the interfering and primary signals«fr the primary wave and fr the interfering wave ea = cs( ct + ß cs<4t) (31) e 2 = a cs[wr, + 6 cs(w t t - 9) + y] (32) ^5' ' " "

In the derivatin f the Adcck frmula attentin was.paid t the magnitude f the interference pattern as well as the phase. At the 0, 180, and 360 the magnitude is symetrically dispsed and causes n blur in Adcck reading, while at ther pints the blur causes the minimum reading t be shifted. The difference in actual bearing between Adcck and Dppler is very slight and fr all practical cases it wuld seem that the result culd be extended generally t in- clude all small aperture systems, the cnclusin being that any, small aperture system suffers frm, the same site errrs.«when cmparing Directin Finding Systems it becmes necessary t frmulate sme standard by which a quick cmparisn f site errr reductin can be made, A figure f merit (r demerit) used by H. G. Hpkins f the Natinal Physical Labratry (England) is the fallwing: The maximum errr is fund fr each angle f arrival f the interfering signal as the time phase varies frm 0 t 360. The r.m.s. value f these maximum errrs is used as the figure f demerit f the system. 20 -

Hwever, there is an upper limit n the aperture (due t the cnstant instrumentatin errr) abve which it becmes unprfitable t further increase ß,.

Apply the fllwing cnditins t expressin (57)> which is the errr fr the Adcck with small aperture. Let y = 180 and 6:Ae, y ~ 180 is a pint f maximum errr as can be seen frm plates (7 thrugh 18). The result is: 9 re % - % arc tan (-^~ ) (59),ß 1 -a Apply the cnditins t expressin (55), the errr fr the Dppler.

28 - - VII : CONCLUSION It is cncluded that a Directin Finder perating n the Dppler Principle can ffer a very practical and accurate slutin t the prblem f determining the directin f arrival f ivave energy» when the dimensins f the antenna system are made cmparable with that f the Adcck, it seems t ffer n imprvement ver the later in the matter f site errr reductin. Hwever, the Dppler System lends itself admirably t wide-aperture peratin under which cnditins it can be made t give marked reductin f bearing errr caused by site reradiatin. Of curse, as a wide aperture system, its use wuld be limited t grund installatins and"shipbard fr the medium and high frequencies, with the pssibility f aircraft applicatin nly at very and ultra-high frequencies. ~ 24 ~ - (.j. \
