Abstract
The system and method for using a wideband dielectric lens array to instantaneously and unambiguously determining azimuthal angle of arrival (AoA) of RF energy over a frequency bandwidth of greater than four octaves. By forming two omnidirectional modes with a constant and linear phase response versus azimuth respectively, the AoA of the incident RF signal can be determined unambiguously using a one or two channel receiver architecture that is capable of measuring the phase between the two modal outputs.
