Modeling, Algorithmization and Optimization of Components of Radio Direction-Finding Systems

Abstract

The effectiveness of radio direction finding systems largely depends on what parameters were laid down during the design, as well as on the features of the mathematical models used. This paper proposes an integrated approach to describe antenna arrays formed on the basis of biconical vibrators. The method of integral equations is used to calculate the characteristics of vibrators. Optimization of characteristics is carried out using a genetic algorithm. The influence of the carrier on which the lattice is attached is taken into account using the generalized EMF method. A generalized algorithm has been built that allows for direction finding. Results are presented that demonstrate the effectiveness of this algorithm; the accuracy of determining the angles has increased several times.
