I am puzzled as to your actual requirement. Explanations and descriptions
of the techniques and hardware to do what I *believe* you are asking have been published for years in innumerable journals and magazines. One specific application which comes to mind is the location of VHF/UHF ELT transmitters inside a hangar where they have been accidentally activated. Those are described in various flying publications. Real challenge inside a reflecting metal hangar where the transmitter might be in any one of a half dozen aircraft, and the signal appears to be stronger out in the middle of the room than near any of them. There are articles about amateur radio fox hunting (HF, VHF, MF) hardware published in all the English speaking countries I am aware of, and I see references to articles in many other languages as well. Just out of curiosity, I did a Yahoo search (based on your Yahoo reference) and found commercial products, references to many literature articles, construction plans, and other indeterminate citations. I used VHF, radio and "direction finders" as the search string. Maybe one of the problems here is that looking for a "DF antenna" is a fruitless search. It has to be a complete DF system to perform any useful function. Almost any antenna can be used as a DF antenna with appropriate support electronics. The big elephant cage DF antennas (FLR-9, FRD-10) use simple vertical monopoles as the actual antenna elements, but the system is much more complicated than that. -- Crazy George Remove N O and S P A M imbedded in return address |
