A method for measuring angular bearing errors in the “antenna - radome” system in the phased-array beam scanning region

The paper introduces a method for measuring angular bearing errors in an antenna-radome system in a two-dimensional angular region of scanning of electronically steerable antenna, i.e. phased array antenna, active phased array antenna. The measurements were based on an antenna measuring collimator system - “compact testing ground”. The mathematical expressions used in processing the obtained data are given. To make a matrix of angular bearing errors, measurements are carried out at different angles of the heel of the antenna - radome system when the phased array antenna beam is deflected in oblique planes. To perfect the method at the initial stage, we used a quick-release model of the radome, which has the ability to introduce angular bearing errors
