The paper deals with the experimental study of horn antenna positioning algorithms: «classical», based on summating the values of horizontal and vertical directivity diagrams presented in logarithmic scale, and the weighted sum. The aim of the work is to carry out a comparative analysis of two mentioned algorithms for horn antenna positioning. The improvement of radio-electronic test methods in the context of modern development of electronics and production automation is of urgent importance. The authors conduct a comparative analysis of two horn antenna positioning algorithms on the basis of computational experiment, identifying optimal parameters for their practical application. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the weighted sum method of directional pattern reconstruction is preferable for testing horn antennas at different operating frequencies. The conclusion of the article presents the main results and conclusions of the research.
Key words: : computational experiment, radiation pattern, classical method of three-dimensional directional pattern reconstruction, gain, the weighted sum method, antenna orientation, horn antenna, signal.
