GSM, network of fm direction finder

GSM: Global system for mobile communicaton

1. It might be used to locate the radio sources

temporarily taming any communication network,and
also to check the growth of transmitters in specific
regions like radio astronomical observatories etc
2. Several radio direction finders have been built in the
past.
3. Different techniques have been employed in different
instruments.
4. These instruments should be broadly classified under
vector type (or )scalar type of radio direction finders.
5. The direction finding could be either online or offline(
or) both.

4. The majority of these instruments operate with small

or medium band widths ,with the increase of spectrum
allotment to the communication channels and their
growing numbers.

5.In certain instruments based on the principle of radio

interferometers the intensity of signal plays an important
role in phase direction.

6.if the signal ratio is weak the phase information might

not be recovered correctly.
7.when the source of signal is amplitude modulated.
8.On the other hand the scalar-type radio direction
finders might not be significally accurate in pointing the
direction.
9.they might work at relatively low signal to rise
ratios ,and could also cover very wide range of
frequencies.

10.with the development of algorithms for

categorically.

11.Analysing the terrestrical spectrum a

requirementfrom the low frequency.
12.Radio astronomy community grew for having a
portable ultra wide band radio direction finder.
13.Requirement was for cross verification of the
direction of narrow and broad band radio sources.
14.Based on the requirement a scale type of online
radio direction finder was designed.
