In article is offered high-tech and together with that comparatively economical (in financial sense) methods measurements of the antenna features in automated mode on the base of the vector network analyzer «Obzor-304/1» domestic production, rotator Yaesu G-2800DXA and controlling computer. The Considered methods allows to take measurements complex radiation pattern of antenna or antenna system with high azimuth resolution in all interesting frequency range for one turn of the under investigation object on rotator at time of the measurement (1,5÷2) minutes. For ensuring the automatic mode is used special designed program, performed on controlling computer. On example of the comparison result processing measured and accounting given is shown efficiency and accuracy of the proposed methods, both on amplitude, and on phase feature. Demonstrated efficiency and applicability of the considered methods for measurement of the raw data for calculation DF characteristic of circular antenna array of mono impulse radio direction finder. Is it also brought and is checked way to use the considered meter complex factor transmissions and reflections «Obzor 304/1» for measurement antenna gain.
