          Appeal No. 2001-0603                                                        
          Application 09/028,063                                                      

          the findings are deemed to support the agency’s conclusion.”  In            
          re Lee, 277 F.3d 1338, 1344, 61 USPQ2d 1430, 1434  (Fed. Cir.               
          2002).                                                                      
               Upon careful review, we fail to find that the Examiner has             
          provided the requisite findings in Green or Baghdady of a method            
          or apparatus for determining the direction of arrival of a                  
          traveling spectrally spread signal wavefront of measurable                  
          center-frequency wavelength wherein an output of a single element           
          in an array signal-sensing elements is shifted in frequency, and            
          is instantaneous envelope waveform is inverted.  As the Examiner            
          correctly states and Appellant argues, Green does not disclose              
          determining the direction of arrival of a traveling spectrally              
          spread signal wavefront of measurable center-frequency                      
          wavelength.  We note further that Green teaches a quadrupole                
          adcock antenna system.  See column 1, lines 20 through 62.  We              
          further note that Appellant discloses in the Appellant’s                    
          specification that adcock arrays or structures are well known               
          prior art systems.  See pages 1 and 2 of Appellant’s                        
          specification.                                                              


               Turning to Baghdady, we note that Baghdady teaches methods             
                                          8
