Abstarct. The technique of obtaining of radio images of asteroids with the help of one-position radio-locator with  narrow-band sounding signal was investigated. Calculations of power spectrum of echo-signals from rotating rough ellipsoid are fulfilled. Estimates of accuracy of determination of asteroid's form and roughness degree of its surface are obtained.
