    Аннотация This paper introduces a novel, universal, and computationally efficient technique for accurately determining the angles of arrival of meteor radio echoes acquired by meteor radar systems. Unlike traditional approaches, which rely on short baselines or specific antenna layouts, the proposed method is designed to address the challenge of strong phase ambiguity in the estimation of meteor echo arrival angles for arbitrary antenna layouts and long baselines in the antenna array. Besides, this technique utilizes the full information contained in the signal while maintaining minimal computational workload. The technique proposed in this study not only ensures high precision in angle determination and minimizes the percentage of rough errors but also enhances the overall efficiency of the meteor radar complex. By leveraging a comprehensive signal processing approach, the method accounts for key factors such as the non-planarity of the antenna field and the sphericity issues of the wavefront, which are often overlooked in conventional systems. Approbation of the proposed technique is performed on modernized phase interferometer of the meteor radar complex of Kazan Federal University (KFU) located in Russia. Taking into account the modernization of the antenna field to a size of 225 × 150 meters at the KFU meteor radar, this modernization has demonstrated a 3.6–6 times improvement in the accuracy of the angles of arrival compared to the classical SKiYMET radar with an antenna field size of 45 × 45 meters. Importantly, these advancements are achieved with significantly reduced computational complexity, making the method both practical and scalable. The new approach presented in this paper is intended to open a new era of high-precision meteor observations on long baselines. It is expected to play a crucial role in advancing the study of fine altitude structures of the mesosphere-lower thermosphere dynamics, as well as in solving astronomical problems related to meteors and meteor showers.
