Single Channel Monopulse Converter.

Abstract

Design of an improved single-channel monopulse converter for use in S-band autotrack antenna systems is described, including theory of operation and design trade-off factors. Specifications and performance data for both a prototype and improved version are given. A comparison is given of characteristics of both, compared to the previous version used in TRATEL I and II autotrack systems. Field trials in which rockets were tracked in flight are described briefly. The new design offers a simpler design with improved performance at lower cost.
