Abstract: | The two-target technique proposed by the author in an earlier paper 1] for reducing radar multipath angle tracking errors has been simulated on a digital computer assuming an actual closed-loop system. When tracking with noise, the technique provides angle error performance which compares quite favorably with the expected performance given in 1] Furthermore, the large bias errors usually encountered in normal monopulse systems at low elevation angles are removed. Results of typical tracks are given, both for the method of 1], and for a modified version of the method which applies primarily to shipboard radar systems. Some results on loss of lock are also presented. |
