Abstract :
In this work, we propose a two-step method for preprocessing signals in the problem of passive amplitude monopulse direction finding. The first step includes the preliminary radio bearing estimation using the Gaussian models of the antenna patterns, while the second step is based on monopulse correlation schema. The developed algorithm can easily be implemented in real time on the basis of a digital signal processor.
