Abstract
This paper presents the mathematical derivation of a maximum likelihood(ML)-based monopulse ratio(MR) curve. The derived form is, with the linear array assumed, shown to be the function of the number of array elements and the elements' spacing. Through some simulations, the acquired form is equivalent to the expected MR curve. Furthermore, we show the form, which consists of several terms, can be simplified by one tangent function.
