[0047] Step 9: Obtaining the primary and secondary reference signals The decoded signal is processed by 15Hz and 135Hz envelope detection to obtain the main and auxiliary reference signals. These two signals are the key to the subsequent rough azimuth measurement, precise azimuth measurement and distance measurement.

[0048] Step 10: Comprehensive testing and result output The coarse azimuth measurement, precise azimuth measurement and ranging processing are performed based on the primary and secondary reference signals. The coarse azimuth measurement uses the phase difference method to calculate the azimuth angle based on the phase difference between two different receiving antennas; the precise azimuth measurement uses the interferometer method to calculate the precise azimuth angle through the phase difference between multiple receiving antennas; the ranging processing uses the time difference method to calculate the distance information based on the time difference between signal transmission and reception.
