Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of equipment calibration, and specifically relates to a laser-aligned dual-antenna direction-finding device. Background Art
[0002] With the establishment of the GPS system and the Beidou navigation system, measurement receivers have been widely used. Dual-antenna north-seeking measurement is an application that uses measurement receiver technology to complete dual-antenna north-seeking. A dual-antenna direction-finding device uses the relative positions of two antennas to complete direction finding (north-seeking). Here, in addition to using the dual antennas and the receiver board to calculate the direction result, the accuracy of the direction-finding result also depends on the relative distance between the two antennas, that is, the baseline length usually defined. In general use, to achieve the given direction-finding accuracy of the receiver, the baseline is required to be not less than 2 meters. If it is necessary to further improve the accuracy of the direction-finding result, it is necessary to increase the length of the baseline (the physical center connection line of the two receiving antennas).
[0003] When using a receiver to complete dual-antenna north-seeking, most of them adopt the form of fixedly installing both antennas on the mounting rack. For example, the utility model with the publication number CN215768981U discloses a directional testing device and a positioning and orientation device (hereinafter referred to as the prior art 1), including: a fixed-angle component, a fixed-length component, and an antenna mounting rack; one end of the fixed-length component is connected to the fixed-angle component, and the other end of the fixed-length component is connected to the antenna mounting rack; the fixed-angle component includes a base, a fixed-angle hole, and a movable fixed-length mounting rod; the movable fixed-length mounting rod is connected to the base in a hinged manner to rotate, and is positioned with any one of the fixed-angle holes on the base through a pin within the rotation range.
[0004] In the prior art 1, when both antennas are fixedly installed on the mounting rack, in order not to affect the measurement accuracy, it is necessary to ensure a certain distance between the lengths of the two antenna arms, so that the distance (baseline) between the two antennas can meet the requirements of the direction-finding accuracy; however, this will cause the size of the direction-finding device to be too large, affecting the carrying and use of the direction-finding device, and restricting its application under field conditions.
