Abstract

Amplitude and phase control of two orthogonal linear polarized RF waves provide a very versatile means for producing a time varying linear polarization scanning reference source. Dynamic control of the state of polarization of the radiated EM wave offers unique scan patterns, which lead to robust recovery of attitude angular information of various flying platforms, such as unmanned aerial vehicles. Data taken in an anechoic chamber confirms the efficacy of the technique.
