Radiogoniometer



A radiogoniometer, also known as a direction finder, is a device used for determining the direction from which a radio signal is being transmitted. It works by measuring the relative signal strength of a received signal using two or more antennas that are spaced apart from each other. By comparing the signals received by each antenna, the device can determine the direction from which the signal is coming.
Radiogoniometers were commonly used in aviation and maritime navigation before the advent of modern electronic navigation systems. They were also used in radio direction finding (RDF) for military and intelligence purposes. Today, radiogoniometers are still used in some applications, such as amateur radio and search and rescue operations, but they have largely been replaced by more advanced electronic systems.
