Determining the velocity of the interference pattern by analyzing three mutually orthogonal projections of the radio signal field vector. Part I. numerical simulation

This article suggests using a spectral polarization method for measuring the velocity of displacement of the interference pattern by analyzing three mutually orthogonal projections of the radio signal held vector using a single receiving antenna. The initial stage of analysis involves calculating complex Doppler spectra of time variations of these projections. Thereupon, for each spectrum component, these data are used to determine angle of arrival spectra. In conjunction with data on Doppler frequency shifts, this procedure makes it possible to estimate the velocity and direction of interference pattern displacement. We give the equations to illustrate the proposed technology and simulation results, showing that it is essentially possible to realize this idea. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
