Monopulse Principles and Techniques (Artech House Remote Sensing Library) (Artech House Radar Library)

Monopulse is a type of radar that generates additional information from the received signal in order to avoid problems caused by rapid changes in signal strength. Monopulse is also resistant to jamming, which is one of the main reasons it is used in most tracking radar systems today. This updated and expanded edition of an Artech House classic offers engineers a current and comprehensive treatment of monopulse radar principles, techniques, and applications. This second edition features two brand-new chapters covering monopulse countermeasures and countercountermeasures, 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. This 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 also serves as a valuable reference for both experienced radar engineers and those new to the field.
