Abstract :
The paper deals with a problem of moving target tracking in forward scattering radar in particular case when target trajectory is close to the transmit position. It is shown that target angular coordinate should be measured relatively to the transmit position to provide high accuracy of tracking. For this purpose, multi-beam transmitting antenna with frequency division of beams is used.
