DOPPLER AND MONOPULSE TRACKING RECEIVERS FOR THE ADAPTIVELY PHASED ARRAY. VOLUME II. AN ANALYSIS OF A MONOPULSE TRACKING RECEIVER,

Abstract

The paper describes a simple method of obtaining the tracking information. The system operation is discussed and some of its advantages are pointed out. Since monopulse receivers are often required to provide tracking errors for very low input signal levels, it is desirable to understand their performance in the presence of noise of appreciable level compared to the signal. A detailed noise analysis is given that will provide some insight into this problem. The general results derived have application also in other systems, for instance in radiometer studies. (Author)
