Abstract

The article discusses the functioning of the radio direction-finding methods in the system of cylindrical antenna arrays formed of the designed radiators, directional factor of which is not equal to 1. The accuracy of determining the angular azimuth coordinates with the direction-finding method with super-resolution MUSIC is estimated in azimuth plane.
