Abstract
In this paper the application of modern DOA algorithms to an existing 8-element Adcock antenna array in the VHF frequency range is investigated. With simulations and measurements it is shown that without changing the antenna hardware an improvement in means of direction finding errors can be accomplished. Furthermore, with a minimal antenna hardware change, sensitivity and bandwidth can be increased and the super resolution algorithm MUSIC can be applied.
