Abstract
The Cramer-Rao analysis method is applied to a conopulse radar to determine a lower bound on the variance of angle tracking error. The analysis allows the calculation of the variance independent of the form of the signal processor attached to the antenna. Under reasonable assumptions it is found that angle error variance is larger than that of a similar monopulse system by a factor of 2.
