The study deals with adaptive algorithms for taking into account amplitude and phase errors in the sum and difference channels of a monopulse surveillance radar station for air traffic control. The algorithms presented make it possible to increase the precision of measuring angular coordinates for direction finding. We list the results of radar tests verifying the efficiency of the algorithms we developed
