Abstract

The invention provides a broadband linear frequency modulation signal direction finding system based on time modulation. An antenna array module is connected with a radio frequency switch module, theradio frequency switch module is connected with a radio frequency receiving channel module, the radio frequency receiving channel module is connected with a time-frequency signal processing module, the time-frequency signal processing module is connected with an output display module, and a digital control module is connected with the radio frequency switch module and the time-frequency signal processing module at the same time.
