Abstract:Radar antennas on long-period erection state can easily lead to deformation. Therefore, periodical test is required. However,the standard equation parameters of the curved surface can not be computed out with existing surface fitting methods. A general quadric equation and eigenvalue condition are used to fit the elliptic paraboloid equation, and the conversion relationship between the measurement coordinates and the standard coordinates expounded. Besides, the relationship between eigenvectors and rotation angles is shown. The general format of elliptic paraboloid equation is converted into standard format. An engineering example verifies that this method is applicable.
