Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods are disclosed herein which facilitate generating and utilizing look-up tables for determining an AoA of a radar signal received from an emitter. In example embodiments, the systems and methods may involve a selectivity process for selecting, for each of a plurality of installation positions, an installation-representative antenna pattern as selected from an option set. Thus, the selectivity process may, for example, include indexing a plurality of data sets of antenna patterns associated with an antenna position and selecting a most representative data set from at least one of the indexed data sets. In some embodiments, the system and methods may further apply a compression algorithm which identifies changes in slope with respect to adjacent pairs of antenna positions (vertex pairs) in the look-up table. The algorithm may then discard any antenna position (any vertex) that does not meet a slope difference threshold with respect to changes in the slope.
