Abstract

We report the new experimental data on the development of the radio holography diagnostics method application to the mirror antenna system with an adaptive surface. Measurements were performed on the “South sector with Flat reflector” antenna system of the RATAN-600 radio telescope. We were able to obtain the high repeatability of reconstruction for both amplitude and phase distribution of the electric field over the antenna aperture due to the stabilization of speed of the reference panel movement used to produce a linear phase shift. We present the resuls of modeling of the considered method application to the space telescope with an adaptive surface on the example of the Millimetron project. The applicability of the method to the dignostics of full steerable telescopes is shown.
