Development and Testing of a Millimeter Wave Monopulse Tracking Radar,

Abstract

This report describes the development, theoretical analysis, testing, and test results of a 35-GHz Monopulse Tracking Radar. A rationale is given as to why a radar at this frequency is beneficial to Navy weapons systems. The specific area addressed is the tracking of air targets at low elevation angles. This report contains a detailed description of all of the subsystems of the radar, a theoretical prediction of system performance, a discussion of the low angle tracking problem, the problems encountered in the development of the radar, the test program, and the results of that test program.
