ABSTRACT:
A monopulse antenna array arrangement includes a transmit-receive processor (TR Proc) associated with each antenna element. Each TR Proc has a port associated with the radiating element and at least two further ports, one for a sum beamformer and another for a difference beamformer. Within each TR Proc, a switching arrangement allows transmitter signal to flow through a phase shifter and transmit amp during transmission, and allows received signal to flow through a low-noise amp and the same phase shifter on reception. Each TR Proc includes a coupling arrangement with a second phase shifter and a second output port, adapted to be coupled to a difference beamformer during reception.
