5The
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.
