Abstract:
1. A system for recording, transmitting and analyzing data and information generated by electromagnetic radiation that originates from at least one impulse source, comprising a plurality of spatially separated measuring stations, each comprising at least one antenna body for recording signals attributed to electromagnetic radiation and a time measurement device for determining the arrival time and time progression of said recorded signals, wherein the altitude of said impulse source and/or the directionality of the impulse emission caused by said impulse source may be localized based on the deviation between the arrival time of the signal at the measuring station located closest to said impulse source and the arrival time of the signal at each of the remainder of said plurality of measuring stations which are not located closest to said impulse source, and wherein said directionality is determined to be essentially vertical when the amplitude of the received signal at each of said plurality of measuring stations varies in inverse proportion to the distance between each respective measuring station and said impulse source and wherein said directionality is determined to be essentially horizontal when the amplitude of the received signal at each of said plurality of measuring stations deviates from said inverse proportionality and said deviation can be corrected based on the altitude angle, and the angle between the impulse emission axis and the direction to the respective measuring station.
