MEASURED BARRIER INTERFERENCE ON MONOPULSE ANTENNA
Abstract
A Ku-band vertical monopulse antenna was tested for pattern distortion effects of a partial barrier within the antenna field. Barrier sizes were roughly equivalent to that of the reflector on the antenna. Primary effects noted were loss of gain in the sum pattern output and an angular shift in the central minimum of the difference pattern. Effects were limited to a relatively small region, and maximum pattern distortion occurred when the barrier was 3 to 4 degrees off the antenna boresight.
