A radio direction finding antenna is disclosed. A dielectric material is
configured to rotate about an axis of rotation. The dielectric material
has a first conductive surface. A radiating element or array of radiating
elements are disposed within the dielectric material and are electrically
isolated from the first conductive surface. The radiating element or
array of radiating elements are positioned a distance away from the axis
of rotation and are configured to be resonant at a predetermined
frequency in the case of a single radiating element or various
frequencies in the case of an array of radiating elements. Rotation of
the dielectric material and radiating element or array of elements about
the axis of rotation causes a Doppler effect in signals received by the
radiating element or array of elements. An artillery fuse incorporating
the radio direction finding antenna is also disclosed.
