ABSTRACT:
A secondary surveillance radar system in which monopulse processing is used to obtain angle estimation of azimuth bearing, the improvement residing in a precision method, involving a monopulse qualifier signal, for identifying the maximum unambiguous off-boresight azimuth (OBA), while ensuring reduced sensitivity to Omni channel variations; the monopulse qualifier signal is developed from coherently combining the IF limited signals derived from the Sum+JDelta and Delta+jSum signals, such that two amplitude varying signals are created, such signals bearing a direct relationship to the Sum and Difference antenna pattern ratios and being independent of antenna signal power.
