Abstract. Method of estimation the direction of moving target by measuring the Doppler frequencies of the echo signal in spaced apart receivers of forward-scattering radar system is proposed. The method is based on integration the frequency differences and the estimate of moment the location of object on the transmitter direction. The results of mathematical simulation and calculation the accuracy of the method are given.

Key words: forward-scattering radar, multistatic radar system, integral Doppler method, integration the difference of Doppler frequencies, angular direction of a target.
