Abstract :
Via jointly processing multiple (sum, azimuth- and elevation-difference) monopulse matched filter samples it is possible to extract and localize several (more than two) targets spaced more closely than the classical interpretation of radar resolution. This paper derives the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) for sampled monopulse radar data.
