We solve the problem of the high-accuracy measurement of the moving-object azimuth by the phase method using fixed antennas. The algorithm is presented for eliminating the ambiguity when calculating the azimuth variation by this method in the case where the object is detected in the region of unambiguous azimuth determination by a radar system. The experimental results of the azimuth measurements are presented.
