Abstract :
A tracking radar which employs a new frequency-comparison monopulse technique by means of sum and difference frequencies is described. A Cassegrain antenna with a five-horn feed transmits and receives two carrier frequencies, and tracking errors due to target glint and thermal noise are reduced by using a wideband FM technique.
