Abstract

In this paper, a simple power - based Direction of Arrival (DoA) sensor is investigated. This sensor is applied in direction finding systems working at 2.6 GHz. The proposed sensor can determine the DoA via a simple formula compared to the algorithms – based methods. The sensor structure consists of simple components: two receiving antennas and a power dividers which have a good isolation between output ports based on  hybrid couplers (HCs). With the range of simulation DoA from 0o to 35o, the proposed sensor yields the error of less than 5o.
