In a direction finding system, pluralities of signals provided by different sets of less than all of a plurality of arrayed antennas are code division multiplexed, downconverted by a single receiver, A/D converted and separated to derive signals that are processed to estimate the directions of arrival of the signals received by the different sets of antennas at different frequencies. The signals from different antennas are coded with different codes that have a common M-sequence and different phases for the different antennas. The derived signals are processed to detect the presence of signals and simultaneously demodulate and estimate the directions of arrival of signals by the antennas at the different frequencies. The different sets of antennas from which the received signals are provided for coding and multiplexing are selectively varied in accordance with the estimated directions of arrival and estimated magnitudes.
