  • Abstract
    This paper introduces the concept of an electrically small two element antenna array that can provide unambiguous angle of arrival information for broadband or ultra-wideband (UWB) signals. Applications include interference mitigation, location awareness, and in a "spatial RAKE" receiver system.
