METHOD TO INCREASE RESOLVING CAPACITY OF MEASUREMENT OF ANGULAR COORDINATE OF GLOWING REFERENCE POINT, MULTI-ELEMENT PHOTODETECTOR AND SENSOR OF ANGULAR COORDINATE OF GLOWING REFERENCE POINT THAT IMPLEMENT IT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01B11/26 G02B27/09 H01L31/42 

FIELD: measurement equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods and devices for measurement of angles in machine building, and also to devices of spacecraft navigation. The method to increase resolving capacity of measurement of angular coordinates of a glowing reference point by values of signals and serial numbers of photosensitive elements arranged symmetrically with the specified angular pitch relative to a certain axis, consists in increased speed of signal variation by the angle of the specified photosensitive elements. The multi-element receiver of optical radiation consists from at least three photosensitive elements arranged symmetrically with the specified angular pitch relative to a certain axis, at the same time photosensitive elements have devices that increase speed of their signal variation by the angle.

EFFECT: provision of the possibility to increase resolving capacity of measurement of an angular coordinate of a glowing reference point.
