FIELD: radio location.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to active radio location and can be used in interrogators of an active request-response radio location system, installed on mobile carrier objects, operating on target assignments from external systems for objects equipped with radio location responders. The claimed method includes processing the stored full azimuth signal sequence from the output of a mono-pulse antenna system. Interpolation of the missing data, averaging of the obtained direction finding characteristic in a sliding window, calculation of two interpolation lines to the left and to the right of the maximum point of the direction finding characteristic are therein performed sequentially. The azimuth corresponding with the intersection point of said lines is the calculated azimuth of the target.
EFFECT: invention is aimed at improving the accuracy of direction finding of the target by reducing the influence of distorting factors, such as the amplitude measurement error, limited sensitivity of the receiving channels, signal omission (absence), on the direction finding characteristic.
