Abstract
A method and installation for calibrating an airborne goniometry apparatus by means of a calibration generator, remote from the airborne goniometry apparatus. The method includes sharing, between the goniometry apparatus and the calibration generator, a calibration sequence. The method also includes sharing, between the goniometry apparatus and the calibration generator, a start time of the calibration sequence. The method further includes executing the calibration sequence by the goniometry apparatus and by the calibration generator, at the start time. The start time is determined in reference to the same clock, referred to as a reference clock, provided to the goniometry apparatus and the calibration generator, by an external source.
