Millimeter wave monopulse track radar
Abstract
A high accuracy millimeter wave monopulse radar was developed for use in high resolution tracking applications. The system utilizes a real aperture millimeter wave antenna transmitting a medium power noncoherent narrow pulse. An analysis of attenuation and backscatter in adverse weather conditions indicates that against a 10 square meter target, a range of 10 km may be obtained in clear air and 4.8 km in 4 mm/hr or rain. A description of the system configuration is given together with currently available experimental data. Accuracies of better than 1.0 mr were achieved.
