Abstract

This paper improves Sherman's two-pulse method for angle estimation of two unresolved targets in phase comparison monopulse radar. The proposed method provides the angle information with only a single-pulse measurement instead of two pulses. The proposed method can estimate a single-target angle by single-target indicator, in contrast with previous techniques. The accuracy of angle estimation for proposed method is demonstrated by simulations.

본 논문에서는 위상비교모노펄스에서 근접한 두 표적의 위치를 추정하는 방법을 제시하였다. 제안한 방법은 Sherman의 기법을 근간으로 하기 때문에 기존 다른 기법들과 달리 단일표적상황에서도 사용할 수 있으며, 오직 단일 펄스만을 사용하여 근접한 두 표적의 위치를 추정하기 때문에 기존 Sherman이 제시한 기법의 단점도 개선할 수 있었다. 제안한 방법의 각도 추정 정확도는 시뮬레이션을 통해 증명하였다.
