Appendix I: Angle-of-Arrival Determination Using a Rotated Antenna Configuration
Assume that interferometer antennas are configured in a triangle configuration and that the origin is chosen to be equidistant from each antenna. Also assume that the three interferometer antennas are located in the x-y plane with y being up and that z is perpendicular to the array plane. Let d define the distance from any antenna to the origin and a1 and a2 be the rotation angle of the two left antennas with respect to the x-axis and a3 be the rotation of the right antenna with respect to the x-axis. Furthermore, we assume that the x-y axes are rotated such that a1 = a2 = a.
