Abstract
In this paper, we have studied the tracking system with a single channel monopulse receiver that has a comparative advantage of costs, size, weight, and power consumption over the general 3-channel monopulse receivers. After the single channel monopulse system was composed of an antenna, a monopulse receiver, a servo unit, a RF signal processor unit and a power supply unit, we analyzed the basic tracking performance of the tracking error angle and the pointing loss. And we proved the tracking performance to a moving target in the outdoor environment. On the Analysis of the tracking test results, the single channel monopulse system shows a equal or higher performance over the general 3-channel monopulse system and also has advantages of the system implementation. Also, it is concluded that this study is useful to apply a single channel monopulse receiver with benefits of production price and miniaturization when the monopulse tracking systems will be developed in the future.
