Monopulse Tracker Operating Characteristics Measurement Error Performance for Azimuth Tracking

Abstract

This paper derives the operating characteristics for a monopulse radar tracker as a function of probability of detection and probability of false alarm. Measurement error performance is developed for azimuth tracking in an amplitude comparison monopulse system. A set of receiver operating characteristics is also presented to demonstrate how to determine the detection threshold in the signal processing system to minimize tracking errors for a given signal-to-noise ratio.
