A 2-D Lookup Table for Monopulse Radar

Abstract

This report details the construction of a 2-D lookup table for monopulse radar. Linear models and 1-D lookup tables fail to capture the change of the monopulse ratios over their whole 2-D surfaces. 2-D lookup tables capture this effect, resulting in higher performance. The 2-D lookup table is evaluated with both a Gaussian antenna model and an alternative antenna model. Details such as the range of and used to evaluate the table, the table resolution, and the method used to resolve missing or multiple points all affect the overall performance. Finally, noise and detection models are added, allowing for the optimization of system parameters through trade studies.
