In this paper, we proposed the 1-channel monopulse receiver which has the new configuration and described the operation procedures. Also, we compared and analyzed the proposal receiver and the general 3-channel monopulse receiver. As a result, it is apparent that the monopulse ratio of the proposal receiver is equal to that of the 3-channel monopulse receiver. The proposal receiver achieve the simple receiver configuration and the simple tracking procedures, as contrasted with the 3-channel monopulse receiver. Also, the proposal receiver has advantages in terms of size, weight, cost and power. Because the proposal monopulse receiver require 1-channel receiver and need not the signal processor in comparison with 3-channel monopulse receiver which require 3-channel receiver and need the signal processor.

In this paper, we propose the operation procedures of the 1-channel monopulse receiver which achieves the new configuration. Also, we analyzed the monopulse ratio and the target angle accuracy of the fabricated receiver by using the monopulse signal generator developed for verifying the proposal equipment. As a result, it is apparent that the monopulse ratio of the proposal receiver is equal to that of the 3-channel monopulse receiver. Also, the fabricated receiver exhibits the target angle accuracy with fewer than 0.1 RMS. The proposal receiver achieves the simple receiver configuration and the simple tracking procedures, as contrasted with the 3-channel monopulse receiver. Also, the proposal receiver has advantages in terms of size, weight, cost and power. Because the proposal monopulse receiver requires 1-channel receiver and needs not the signal processor in comparison with 3-channel monopulse receiver which requires 3-channel receiver and need the signal processor.

A monopulse feeder gives the most important impact upon the radiation pattern characteristics of a multi-function radar or a tracking radar which uses the space feed. It is described that the triple-mode type monopulse feeder which possesses the optimum aperture illumination for three monopulse channels is designed and measured in this paper. The measured results show that the designed feeder has not only the characteristics of the optimum aperture illimination in each channel and also very low return loss over the 10 % of fractional bandwidth at X-band. This means that the feeder provides the antenna system with low sidelobe level and high monopulse slope characteristics.

Antenna Tracking System has been required core technology with special tracking algorithm, and it can be achieved by program tracking, step tracking, optracking, and monopulse tracking as well. Depend on tracking requirement we might be able to apply eligible tracking method in accordance with Geostationary and Inclined Orbit Satellite. Further, we should deeply consider two important factors in order to act up to customer expectation in quality and system performance including competitive price therefore we need maximized endeavor to upgrade not only tracking system performance, but reduction of product through engineering skill and R&D investment.

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.

This paper proposes a monopulse beamforming network to estimate a target angle in interference conditions. The proposed system estimates the target direction of arrival (DOA) with two separate beamformings for azimuth and elevation with a planar may. The elevation is extracted from adaptive beamforming in the azimuth direction and the azimuth from adaptive beamforming in the elevation direction. Unlike conventional monopulse beamforming techniques using complex correction formulas or a cascaded architecture of an adaptive array and a mainlobe canceller, the proposed system is very efficient from the computational complexity. The advantage is from fact that the monopulse ratio of the proposed system does not depend on the adapted weights. Moreover, the proposed system can estimate the DOA of the target even for multiple mainlobe interferences since it does not need my kinds of mainlobe maintenance technique.

In this paper, we proposed an enhanced monopulse MIMO radar system for the tactical scenario where the ground receivers are connected wireless backhaul and closely spaced. By applying the ${\alpha}{\beta}$ filter to the conventional monopulse MIMO radar, we show that the localization performance can be improved significantly. We also propose an efficient localization algorithm for a system with lower rate feedback. Using numerical simulations, we demonstrate that the proposed scheme can improve the localization performance while reducing the feedback over conventional scheme.

The main mission of OTM(On-The-Move) satellite communication system is to provide satellite communication service while moving on a vehicle. So it should have a capability to maintain a reliable communication channel when it travels at high speeds or in a severe fluctuation region. This paper presents a small-sized multi-mode monopulse structure applicable to OTM satellite communication system which has only single mode-coupler with a pair of slot using a feature of circular polarized received signal. And tracking error signal is defined using fundamental and high-order modes.

Cross eye technique was proposed as an angle deception jamming technique against monopulse radars. Tracking radars use monopulse or conical scan methods for angle estimation of a target. Thus, if we verify deception performance of cross eye technique against a conical scan radar, efficient jamming systems can be developed to disturb both monopulse radars and conical scan radars. In this paper, we propose a mathematical model for a conical scan radar and a cross eye system. Using the proposed model, angular deception performance of the cross eye technique against conical scan radar is analyzed.

In general, an error budget of monopulse radar is proposed by manufacturer who assuming that all of external enviromental error resources such as multipath, glint, dynamic lag variation are removed. So until now, a measurement uncertainty of monopulse radar can be discussed including external enviromental error resources. In this paper, it is described that which kinds of error resource can effect on monopulse radar measurement uncertainty for different target property. To prove it experimentally, at first a simulation result is described assuming that all of external enviromental error resources are removed. It only includes receiver thermal noise. And then, monopulse radar measurement uncertainty estimation results tracking on calibration target which is fixed on specific position, calibration sphere which is moving slowly, weapon systems firing test which is moving fast are described quantitativly. All of these targets have different dynamic property.
