A system and method for visualization of attitude dependent data is
disclosed. An attitude sphere is defined around an object of interest
located at the center. Grid points are defined on the surface of the
attitude sphere to represent directions. An attitude dependent FOM result
is mapped onto the sphere, which is color coded on the associated point
to visualize attitude dependency. When used to analyze signals arriving
at a receiver, the method accounts for motion of the receiver, the
transmitter, and the signal sources. The objects comprise values of
figures of merit (FOMs) that are accessible to a user. Additionally, the
objects are updated dynamically to reflect the experience of the receiver
over time. The receiver orientation may be optimized to minimize
interference and jamming and/or to maximize signal strength of a desired
signal.
