Abstract :
The measured performance of an interferometer system for direction-finding in the h.f. band is described. A considerable reduction in bearing error compared with a narrow-aperture (Adcock) system is obtained in the presence of ground reradiators and fluctuating wave-interference fields. A standard deviation of about 1 2° has been obtained with a 400 ft interferometer on sky-wave transmissions in the 5¿25 Mc/s band.
