APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING ANGULAR COORDINATES OF OPTICAL RADIATION Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01S17/02 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus has a first and a second electrooptical coordinator with photodetector arrays, each photocell of which has coordinate referencing in a Cartesian coordinate system, eight analogue-to-digital converters, a microprocessor and a display. The first, second, third and fourth outputs of the first electrooptical coordinator are connected to inputs of the first, second, third and fourth analogue-to-digital converters, respectively, the outputs of which are connected, respectively, to the first, second, third and fourth inputs of the microprocessor. The first, second, third and fourth outputs of the second electrooptical coordinator are connected to inputs of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth analogue-to-digital converters, respectively, the outputs of which are connected, respectively, to the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth inputs of the microprocessor, the output of which is connected to the input of the display.

EFFECT: wider range of values of determined angular coordinates, eliminating constraints on installation of electrooptical coordinators with array receivers in a Cartesian coordinate system.
