Method and apparatus for reducing the effects of scintillation and rejection of clutter in monopulse radars

A method and apparatus for processing monopulse radar return signals to synthesize the imaginary component ( beta I) of the complex angle of arrival. Scintillation errors in the real component ( beta R) of the complex angle of arrival can then be reduced on a pulse-by-pulse basis by the criterion th...

Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for processing monopulse radar return signals to synthesize the imaginary component ( beta I) of the complex angle of arrival. Scintillation errors in the real component ( beta R) of the complex angle of arrival can then be reduced on a pulse-by-pulse basis by the criterion that ¦ beta I¦ be small in magnitude and gating the beta R signal when this criterion is not met.
