FIELD: instrument making.
SUBSTANCE: radio beacon simultaneously from two points spatially distanced in the plane of measurements with available coordinates radiates orthogonally linearly polarised electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves are received on a mobile object in a linear polarisation basis making the angle of 45° with the plane of measurements. According to the signals received at the outlet of the linear polarisation divider a summary and a difference signals are generated, and phase difference is measured between them, afterwards an angular coordinate of a mobile object is calculated.
EFFECT: proposed goniometrical system provides for better efficiency and accuracy of measurements with availability of strict restrictions for dimensions of a receiving antenna of a mobile object, where mass and dimensions of an antenna are of utmost importance.
