Annotation: The paper analyzes the error of the estimation of the time difference of radio signal arrival at two reception points located on a spacecraft. The results of simulation and analysis of the experimental data obtained by reception of signals of the terrestrial three-centimeter range radio source are shown.

Keywords: lateral radiation, multipath, estimation of the time difference of arrival, correlation function
