A direction finder apparatus and method are provided. The direction finder apparatus includes an antenna system, a RF front end, and an analog signal detector that detects an electromagnetic signal and provides in response a characteristic signal without an underlying carrier wave. The direction finder apparatus further includes an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, a fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor that produces a plurality of component frequency approximations representing frequency components of the AM signal, a plurality of storage bins, and a post-processor. The post-processor determines a maximum S/N ratio from among the plurality of component frequency approximations. A direction of arrival (DOA) angle of the RF signal is determined when the antenna system is oriented to produce a maximum S/N ratio.
