Abstract :
A simple method to calculate the angle of arrival is presented in this paper. The advantages of this method are the unlimited number of the detected angle of arrival in hand and the fact that we donpsilat need to know the nature of the radiating sources in the other hand. However, some disadvantages have been seen. Firstly a positioning system is indispensable to rotate the sensor and secondly, the propagation channel must be stable during the sensor rotation.
