Abstract

The paper presents the theoretical and experimental estimation of angular resolution of two-channel airborne antennas in the air traffic management equipment corresponding to the CNS/ATM concept. It is shown that with the use of sequential sum-and-difference processing in such antenna we can increase the angular resolution almost by an order with the same overall dimensions of the aperture.
