Abstract

An azimuth measurement apparatus including: a positioning signal receiver receiving a first impulse positioning signal and a second impulse positioning signal from a first fixed position and a second fixed position, respectively; a phase difference detector detecting a phase difference between the first impulse positioning signal and the second impulse positioning signal; and an azimuth calculator measuring an azimuth of an object of positioning, based on the detected phase difference of the two positioning signals.
