Sidelobe canceller(SLC) requires main beam pattern(SUM beam) and auxiliary beam patterns for rejection of sidelobe noise jammer. For best performance of sidelobe noise jamming cancellation of adaptive SLC, gain dominant region of each auxiliary beam pattern shall not be overlapped one another in elevation/azimuth regions of sidelobe of main beam, and beam patterns of auxiliary channels should have low gains in regions of mainlobe of main beam. In the monopulse radar, the difference beam patterns for monopulse processing have these properties. This paper proposes the method using data from the difference channel for monopulse processing as data from auxiliary channel for sidelobe cancellation. For the proposed SLC, the results of simulation and performance analysis was presented. If the proposed method is used in the monopulse radar, SLC can be constructed by using basic SUM and difference channels without extra channel composition.

In this paper, we analyzed the tracking error for the monopulse radar by controlling the phase difference, amplitude ratio and engagement angle of the cross-eye jammer. Cross-eye jamming is an important jamming method for monopulse radars, which causes a displacement in the radar receiving antenna input and misleads the radar's tracking angle. As a result of analyzing the tracking distance error of the radar while changing the engagement angle between the monopulse radar and jammer, the maximum distance error occurs when the engagement angle is 0° and the phase difference is 180°. It was confirmed that the error decreased to 70% or less of the maximum distance error into 45°~135°. In order to increase the efficiency of jammers, it is necessary to study rotary jammers or multi-channel jammers. This study will be very useful for the design of cross-eye jammers for aircraft and ships.

One of the effective methods for angular deception against monopulse radar is a cross eye technique. The typical cross eye technique can cause significant angular errors to monopulse radar by using two transceivers which transmit the signals with opposite phases. However, typical cross eye systems have high complexity of implementation because two transceivers should be installed with enough distance on the platform. In this paper, we propose a new cross eye technique with single transceiver based on the multipath effect. Then, angular deception performance of the proposed technique is analyzed.

In this paper, the monopulse channel receiver which can be matched between channels through a wide bandwidth has been proposed. The effects of the gain and phase imbalance between channels on the slope of monopulse error signal were analyzed. Also, the matching method between channels in a wide bandwidth was proposed, by which monopulse slope could be stabilized. Using the implemented monopulse radar system the monopulse slope was measured in the anechoic chamber which include the moving horn antenna and the target signal generator. The results show that the wide band matching method is useful and applicable to various channel receivers

The performance of the E-plane monopulse feeder is shown to e improved by using corrugated horn and multimode design. The proposed multimode corrugated horn is analyzed by the mode matching technique. an E-plane monopulse feeding horn is designed and fabricated to show the performance of the multimode corrugated horn. The experiment agrees quite well with the thoretical analysis. The results can be used in the design of monopulse type tracking radar antenna.

This paper proposes a high-gain monopulse antenna using the folded reflectarray for a monopulse target-tracking radar systems designed at the center frequency of 94 GHz. In target-tracking radar systems, the angle of arrival of the incoming wave Is determined by comparing the signal received on two or more non-coincident antenna patterns. This is the physical basis of most target-tracking techniques and the comparison is made simultaneously in a monopulse radar systems. In this paper, the antenna consists of polarizing grid, reflectarray, multimode feed horn, and comparator implemented by wavguide. The antenna is able to have three radiation patterns by using the monopulse feed systems assembled by multimode feed horn and comparator. The antenna demonstrates maximum gains 36dB, 33.5dB and 27.2dB at sum mode, azimuth mode, and evevation mode respectively.

Monopulse RADAR is the radar which detects the range of the target using a single transmitted signal. In this paper, using 9.41GHz X-band radar, the research for the phase comparison monopulse algorithm used in the marine environment is conducted. In addition, by applying the phase comparison monopulse algorithm, we calculate the RMSE for the various antenna spacings and the positions of the target. Based on that result, we compare the performance of the phase comparison monopulse algorithm in the uniform linear array with that in the non-uniform linear array. Finally, the differences in performance among the MUSIC algorithm, Bartlett method and the proposed phase comparison monopulse algorithm are analyzed.

In this paper, we analyze the tracking errors of monopulse radar according to the JSR of retrodirective cross-eye and radar skin return signals. The cross-eye jammer gain(G_c) is used to calculate the radar tracking errors, and the relationship between the jammer gain and the JSR is represented mathematically. We analyze the radar tracking errors by varying the tracking angle and JSR. Analysis results of the phase difference(ϕ) and amplitude ratio(a) between the two jammer signals and the changing JSR show that the closer the phase difference of the two jammer signals is to 180, the greater the tracking error and it shows that if the JSR is above 20dB, the tracking errors no longer increase. This work presents an effective utilization of retrodirective cross-eye jammers through various tracking error analyses based on the JSR, tracking angles, two-jammer phase differences and amplitude ratios of two-jammer signals.

In this paper, the tracking error of monopulse radar caused by cross-eye jamming using terrain bounce is analyzed. Cross-eye jamming is a method of generating an error in a radar tracking system by simultaneously transmitting two signals with different phases and amplitudes. When the monopulse radar receives the cross-eye jamming signal generated by the terrain bounce, a tracking error occurs in the elevation direction. In the presence of multipath, this signal is a combination of the direct target return and a return seemingly emanating from the target image beneath the terrain surface. Terrain bounce jamming has the advantage of using a single jammer, but the space affecting the jamming is limited by the terrain reflection angle and the degree of scattering of the terrain. This study can be usefully used to protect ships from low-altitude missiles or aircraft in the sea.

In this paper, estimation angle performance analysis of amplitude-comparison monopulse radar under additive noise effect is dealt with. When uncorrelated white noises are added to the squinted beams, the angle estimation performance is analyzed through the mean square error(MSE). The numerical integration-based mean square error result completely overlaps the Monte Carlo-based mean square error result, which corresponds to 99.8% of the Monte Carlo-based mean square error result. In addition, the mean square error analysis method based on numerical integration has a much faster operation time than the mean square error method based on Monte Carlo. the angle estimation performance of the amplitude comparison monopulse radar can be efficiently analyzed in various noise environments through the proposed numerical integration-based mean square error method.
