Abstract
A process for locating radio sources by a two-channel high resolution radiogoniometer including a network of a specified number N of sensors. The process multiplexes the signals supplied by the N sensors on the inputs of only two receivers. Then, with the aid of a calculation device coupled to the outputs of the two receivers, the angles of arrival of the waves emitted by the sources are estimated on the basis of an estimation of the covariance matrix of the signals supplied by the two receivers.
