An important step for the design of direction finding systems is the performance evaluation
using numeric electromagnetic simulation tools. In this thesis, a method is presented for both
modeling and simulation in a numeric electromagnetic simulation tool FEKO. The method
relies on the data generated by FEKO. The data is then processed by correlative interferometer
algorithm. This process is implemented in a MATLAB environment. Different types of
antenna arrays including dipole, monopole and discone antennas are used. The antenna arrays
are mounted on a UAV and SUV in order to see the platform effects. The direction finding
performance is evaluated for different scenarios. It is shown that the presented approach is an
effective tool for understanding the direction finding characteristic of antenna arrays.
