Abstract :
This paper provides an effective and easy to implement method for VHF digital array antenna measurement and system diagnostics under radar working situation. Using target´s multiple channel echoes we can get perfect sum and different beam patterns through MTI and DBF processing. Azimuth accuracy was given by compare radar track positions with GPS values.
