Method of and apparatus for position location and tracking of a vehicle or the like by the reception at the vehicle of pulsed radio navigation signals as of the Loran-OC type and the like, with an autonomous loop antenna-receiver
 This disclosure deals with processing radio-frequency navigation signals, particularly Loran-C signals, from crossed loop antennas (H-field antennas) by shifting the signal phase from two loops to be in quadrature with respect to each other and adding them together to achieve omnidirectivity of the antenna pattern during the acquisition mode; using the stronger signal of the two during the cycle selection mode to determine the polarity of the received signals; and calculating the relative bearing angles on transmitting stations to determine, with measured bearing, the orientation of the loop antenna with respect to these stations.
