Angular intensity distributions for transition radiation excited by a beam of relativistic electrons in the emitter in the form of a dihedral angle are measured in the millimeter range. The angle is formed by the intersection of two conducting planes. The source of radiation is a microtron with an electron energy of 7.4 MeV. We analyze the effect of the magnitude of the dihedral angle of the emitter, the position of the electron transition point on the surface of the angle, and the direction of motion of electrons on the angular distribution of radiation intensity. It is shown that the spectral and angular distributions of radiation intensity in the dihedral angle substantially differ from analogous distributions for a particle intersecting a planar conducting surface. The possibility of using radiation to measure the energy, spatial position, and direction of motion of charges is considered.
