Abstract

A direction finder including downstream the reticle an intermediate objective and a four quadrant detector, the reticle providing a modulation at a given frequency and in which the intermediate objective comprises preferably a half-ball lens whose center of curvature coincides substantially with the detector center to allow a relative movement of the reticle with respect to the detector, such as a rotation round this center controlled by a driving device.
