Abstract :
The rms bearing error for simultaneous or sequential lobe comparison is found for a nonscanning, nontracking receiving system having two antenna (or transducer) lobes of arbitrary shapes. Simple, useful approximations are found for bearings both away from and near a null of one of the lobes.
