A polarization-modulation method of estimating the bearing of a moving object using a radio beacon transmitting two mutually orthogonal elliptically polarized radio signals is considered. The signals received onboard the moving object are subject to polarization modulation. The bearing is estimated at the output from a single-channel receiver at the frequency multiple to the polarization modulation frequency.
