Methodology for processing information of a multi-base phase direction finder and assessing the quality of results, taking into account failures and deterioration in the operation quality of individual MPDF bases

Abstract

When conducting radio-electronic monitoring (SEM) by systems of various types of basing, phase direction finding methods are widely used. To obtain both high accuracy and unambiguity of direction finding, a reusable phase direction finder (MBFP) is used. In the literature, quite a lot of works are devoted to methods for optimizing MBFP structures. In this paper, the issues of automation of accounting for failures or deterioration of the quality of work of individual MBPF databases in the process of processing direction finding information obtained during the management of SEM are considered. The determination of the bearing (guiding sine) on the radiation source with the phase direction finding method is carried out by a set of phase differences obtained at the output of a multi-phase phase direction finder (MBFP).
