Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system that includes a sensor having a plurality of antenna elements arranged in a three-dimensional array. None of the plurality of antenna elements is configured as a loop antenna element. Each of the plurality of antenna elements are configured to provide a sensor output signal in response to an incident electromagnetic field having predetermined characteristics. A processing circuit is coupled to the sensor, the processing circuit being configured to obtain a directional vector to a source of the incident electromagnetic field from the plurality of sensor output signals. The sensor output signals correspond to a plurality of field components of the incident electromagnetic field at a point. The plurality of field components include differential values such that the plurality of field components providing at least nine (9) degrees of freedom (DOFs).
