Abstract :
In this paper, we propose new technical solution for development of ground direction-finder designed for small-angle position of radioradiation source. It is based on antenna system including three horizontal vibrators with flat metallic reflectors, constant phase-rollers and summators of these vibrators´ signals. Two angle coordinates of radiation source are determined in accordance with received signals amplitude that allows to eliminate disadvantages of the well-known angle-measuring systems.
