The Misell algorithm is an effective phase-retrieval holography method for measuring the surface error of large reflector antennas. However, it is investigated experimentally to have a low accuracy at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). To decrease the great sensitivity to noise of Misell algorithm, a new iterative Fourier filtering approach based on autocorrelation theorem is proposed. The iterative Fourier filtering approach is used to remove some of the imperfection present in far-field amplitude data. The computer simulation results of Shanghai Sheshan-25m-telescope model show that the proposed approach improved the accuracy of Misell algorithm at low SNR obviously.
