Estimation of the polarization errors of monopulse direction-finders
Abstract
Simple analytical expressions are obtained for estimating the polarization errors of monopulse radar systems with sum-difference processing. Calculations are performed for arbitrary operating polarization in the case of prescribed antenna patterns at the operating and ortghogonal polarizations. It is shown that the variation of the polarization characteristics of three-dimensional direction-finding systems is qualitatively different from that in the one-domensional case.
