Track Performance Considerations for Monopulse Radars
Abstract
A generic monopulse radar simulation model is being developed to assess the effectiveness of counter-measures and counter-countermeasures in selectable tactical scenarios. In this report, track performance consideration for monopulse radars is analyzed in detail. The radar tracking stability and sensitivity are analyzed in terms of the open-loop gain crossover, open-loop phase margin, and the closed-loop bandwidth and damping ration. Track loops are synthesized through filter pole/zero placement with consideration of the overall loop gain. An analytical solution is derived as a function of radar parameters that describes the angle and range tracking responses. This eliminates time-consuming computer simulations and provides detailed insight into how basic radar characteristics affect monopulse radar track.
