DADF (Digital Automatic Direction Finder)

Masoud Mirzaee and Sepideh Behroozifar

ADF or Automatic Direction Finder is one of the basic navigation machines which works based on the waves at low and medium frequencies. Tuning capacitors and selecting the appropriate circuit for each band embedded in receiver and is controlling by signals which are sending from the user from the controller section. Electromechanical systems of current receiver has reduced system performance in terms of size, weight, maintenance and accuracy of performance, and increases construction costs and the development of electronic instrumentation compared to the existing systems, the proposal design is based on electronic devices. In addition, due to the advantages of digital implementation in terms of accuracy, cost and ease of manufacturing, processing and detection of mixed signals, the choice of frequencies and the angle transmitter calculating is implemented by the digital transmitter.
