Abstract :
In presented paper the aspects of correction of target date are discussed. It is proposed to determine the atmosphere refractivity and correct the distance and angles of target which are measured with microwave radar. The determination of atmosphere refractivity it is proposed to carry out with the measurements of phase progression of microwave on a separate testing link. The phase progression adequately represents the atmosphere refractivity.
