Abstract:
An apparatus includes a first antenna and a second antenna. A solid dielectric material is disposed between the first antenna and the second antenna. The solid dielectric material may alter radio-frequency signals received by the first antenna or the second antenna by reducing the propagation speed of the radio-frequency signals. This allows the angle of arrival of the radio-frequency signals to be determined.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a first antenna configured to receive a radio-frequency signal; a second antenna configured to receive the radio-frequency signal, wherein the second antenna is located a first distance away from the first antenna; a solid dielectric material disposed between the first antenna and the second antenna, wherein the solid dielectric is configured to alter the radio-frequency signal to simulate a second distance between the first antenna and the second antenna; and a computing device comprising a processing device and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), wherein the processing device is communicatively coupled to the first antenna and the second antenna, the processing device to:\n convert, by the ADC, the radio frequency signal received by the first antenna into a first digital signal and the radio frequency signal received by the second antenna into a second digital signal; \n determine a phase difference between the first digital signal and the second digital signal, based on the second distance, wherein the second distance is based on a type of the solid dielectric material; and \n determine a direction of a source of the radio-frequency signal relative to the apparatus, with a directional resolution of a set of antennas that are spaced the second distance apart, based on the phase difference.
