  2. Direction of arrival - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direction_of_arrival

    In signal processing, direction of arrival (DOA) denotes the direction from which usually a propagating wave arrives at a point, where usually a set of sensors are located. These set of sensors forms what is called a sensor array. Often there is the associated technique of beamforming which is estimating the signal from a given direction.

  3. Angle of arrival - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_arrival

    The angle of arrival (AoA) of a signal is the direction from which the signal (e.g. radio, optical or acoustic) is received. [1] Measurement.

  4. Course (navigation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Course_(navigation)

    Instruments used to plot a course on a nautical chart. In navigation, the course of a watercraft or aircraft is the cardinal direction in which the craft is to be steered.The course is to be distinguished from the heading, which is the direction where the watercraft's bow or the aircraft's nose is pointed.

  5. Phase-comparison monopulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-Comparison_Monopulse

    Phase-comparison monopulse is a technique used in radio frequency (RF) applications such as radar and direction finding to accurately estimate the direction of arrival of a signal from the phase difference of the signal measured on two (or more) separated antennas [1] or more typically

  6. Direction finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direction_finding

    A radio direction finder (RDF) is a device for finding the direction, or bearing, to a radio source. The act of measuring the direction is known as radio direction finding or sometimes simply direction finding (DF). Using two or more measurements from different locations, the location of an unknown transmitter can be determined; alternately ...

  7. Airfield traffic pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfield_traffic_pattern

    A flight path parallel to and in the direction of the landing runway. It is offset from the runway and opposite the downwind leg. Crosswind leg. A short climbing flight path at right angles to the departure end of the runway. Downwind leg. A long level flight path parallel to but in the opposite direction of the landing runway.

  8. Interaural time difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interaural_time_difference

    The interaural time difference (or ITD) when concerning humans or animals, is the difference in arrival time of a sound between two ears. It is important in the localization of sounds, as it provides a cue to the direction or angle of the sound source from the head. If a signal arrives at the head from one side, the signal has further to travel ...

  9. Acoustic location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_location

    Swedish soldiers operating an acoustic locator in 1940. Acoustic location is a method of determining the position of an object or sound source by using sound waves. Location can take place in gases (such as the atmosphere), liquids (such as water), and in solids (such as in the earth).
