Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monopulse is a type of radar that sends additional information in the signal in order to avoid problems caused by rapid changes in signal strength. Monopulse is resistant to jamming which is one of the main reasons it is used in most radar systems today. This updated and expanded edition of an Artech House classic offers you a current and comprehensive treatment of monopulse radar principles, techniques, and applications. The Second Edition features two brand new chapters, covering monopulse countermeasures and counter-countermeasures and monopulse for airborne radar and homing seekers. This essential volume categorizes and describes the various forms of monopulse radar, and analyzes their capabilities and limitations. The book also devotes considerable space to monopulse circuits and hardware components, explaining their functions and performance. This practical resource features numerous photographs and illustrations drawn from actual radar systems and components. This book serves as a valuable reference for both experienced radar engineers and those new to the field.

Book excerpt: There are different types of radars, such as search radars, tracking radars, etc. Each of these radars has an explicit application. The main task of search radars is to detect targets at long distances and track radars main task is to follow and track the target. The main components of the radar -range search radars and precision tracking radars and tracking of important issues.The monopulse radar system is mainly used for target angle measurement and tracking. The information on the target angular position is determined by comparison of signals received in two or more simultaneous beams. In recent years, combining the monopulse technology and the wideband imaging technology has become a general trend. The wideband monopulse radars can synthesize one-dimensional high-resolution range profiles and two dimensional monopulse angle measurements to obtain three dimensional imaging of the target. Monopulse radars are widely used in target tracking systems because of their superior angular accuracy and powerful antijamming performance. The main advantage of a monopulse system in comparison to standard angle measurement methods is that it is not affected by amplitude fluctuations of the target echo because the angle information is acquired by comparing signals received by several simultaneous beams and produced by a single echo pulse. If the echo amplitude changes, it changes in the same way in all receiver channels. Monopulse Radar Theory offers engineers cutting-edge treatment of monopulse radar principles, techniques, and applications. The chapters are contributed by renowned authors and researchers dealing with the field. Including research reviews and real world examples and cases, this practical information guide describes the various forms of monopulse radar, and analyzes their capabilities and limitations. The book also intended to considerable space to monopulse circuits and hardware elements, clearing their functions and performance. This book will be a guiding tool for students, academic researchers, as well as for both experienced radar engineers and those who wish to expand their knowledge in this subject.

Download or read book Comparative Efficiency of Monopulse Radar Direction Finding Systems written by E. F. Sviridov and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the positions of unified theory the circuits of monopulse systems are examined and the rules of the processing of signals in them are formulated. In accordance with the rules of processing block diagrams of monopulse systems are synthesized. Requirements are examined which must be satisfied by the basic elements of circuits of monopulse direction finders with the various forms of sounding signals. The analysis of the maximum accuracy of monopulse direction finding is carried out both for a determinate signal and for a signal with random parameters, at an arbitrary target position in the direction finding zone. Block diagrams of optimum resolvers with phase and amplitude monopulse direction finding and the distribution laws of optimum estimates of angular position are determined.

Download or read book Monopulse Measurement with Active Electronically Scanned Arrays AESAs written by Roger A. Dana and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes monopulse implemented with Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESAs). Both phase- and amplitude-comparison monopulse are addressed. Limitations imposed by AESAs and non-ideal performance due to quantization, vector modulator noise, and element failures are discussed. The author addresses monopulse using modern low-cost AESAs where the hardware is often non-ideal and where one must carefully balance cost and complexity. The relationship between AESA antenna gain and monopulse measurement is shown and is used to construct an accurate “first-principles” simulation of the monopulse measurement process including both Additive White Gaussian Noise and non-ideal hardware effects. For those unfamiliar with monopulse, this book discusses both the theory and implementation of monopulse for application in modern AESA antennas. For those familiar with the ideal performance of monopulse, the book shows the sensitivity of monopulse accuracy to non-ideal hardware implementations, particularly in AESAs. For those familiar with both, the book discusses Monte-Carlo techniques for simulating the measurement process to obtain realistic, non-ideal monopulse performance vs signal-to-noise ratio. And for those working in radar, the book explains the relationship between one-way monopulse and the monostatic radar case with two-way propagation utilizing the same antenna for both transmit and receive. Shows the relationship between monopulse theory and implementation in modern AESAs; Illustrates the relationship between AESA antenna gain and monopulse accuracy; Discusses the limitations of AESA hardware implementation on simultaneous sidelobe control and monopulse measurement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report, a description of the tracking behavior of conical-scan radars with low-angle targets is presented. To begin, an equivalence is established between monopulse and conical-scan radars. Transformations are then developed from this equivalence, which permit one to treat a conical-scan radar as an equivalent monopulse radar. An example is given of the use of these transformations for simulating the low-angle tracking behavior of conical-scan radars. The simulated result is compared with a low-angle conical-scan radar measurement. Since approximations are made in developing the theory presented in this report, a discussion is given on the range of tracking parameters for which the theory is valid. (Author).

Download or read book Radar Principles for the Non Specialist written by John C. Toomay and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What This Book Is This book is about radar. It will teach you the essentials of radar, the underlying principles. It is not like an engineering handbook which pro vides detailed design equations without explaining either derivation or rationale. It is not like a graduate school textbook which may be abstruse and esoteric to the point of incomprehensibility. And it is not like an anthology of popular magazine articles which may be gaudy but superfi cial. It is an attempt to distill the very complex, rich technology of radar into its fundamentals, tying them to the laws of nature on one end and to the most modern and complex systems on the other. Who It's For If your work requires you to supervise or meet as coequals with radar systems engineers or designers, this book will allow you to understand them, to question them intelligently and perhaps to provide them with a perspective (a dispassionate yet competent view) that they lack. If you are trained in another discipline but have been made the man ager of a radar project or a system program that has one or more radars as sub-systems, this book will provide you with the tools you need, not only to give your team members confidence, but also to make a substantive technical contribution yourself.
