A new method is presented to measure the emission angle of fission fragments in a double Frisch-grid ionisation chamber which is independent of the measured fragment energy. The emission axis measurement is dependent only on the relative timing of the charge-integrated signals from a triply radially-segmented anode, the geometry of the detector and the drift velocity of liberated electrons. The energy independence means that corrections for Frisch-grid inefficiency and gain matching of pre-amplifiers are not required. An isotropic252Cf(sf) source has been used to test this method by comparing experimental data to a Monte-Carlo calculation of the angular efficiency of the detector. Agreement is found between the simulated and measured efficiencies. The method has also been compared to one of the established polar-angle measurement methods, where agreement is once again found.
