Monopulse Radar for A.I. Applications

Summary form only given, as follows. A resume of the important performance characteristics of an airborne radar system will be given. In particular, typical monopulse antenna patterns, antenna impedance data, phase and gain tracking of the reference and error channels will be described. The advantages of monopulse type tracking over the conventional conical scan tracking systems will be discussed with respect to both the tracking accuracy and relative complexity of the two systems. A brief commentary will be made on the future possibilities of extending the performance capabilities of monopulse radar systems beyond that generally recognized at this time.
