Test Your EQ

Answer 5—The elapsed time between pulses from two sensors tells you how far the beam has rotated in that time. The rotation rate of the beacon can be known a priori, or can be inferred from the period of pulses from a single sensor. This gives you the angle between the two sensors as seen by the beacon itself.
