Title :
Polarization limitations in antenna tracking
Abstract :
Pseudo-monopulse antenna tracking systems perform well when the received signal has the design polarization characteristics. However, if the received signal differs from the design polarization, tracking performance can degrade. These tracking limitations are discussed as well as mitigation techniques that provide antenna tracking that is independent of the signal´s polarization.
