Monopulse Tracking Receiver

The Monopulse Tracking Receiver is a high-performance RF tracking receiver designed for Aircraft Tracking, satellite ground stations, radar systems and tracking antennas.

Key Features:

  • Dual-channel Processing
  • Wide Frequency Receiver 70Mhz to 6GHz.
  • Wide IF bandwidth support (200Khz-30 MHz Programmable)
  • Integrated AGC
  • AZ, EL Error Output
  • Compact 19" rackmountable enclosure (3U)
  • RS-232 or Ethernet-based remote control
  • Error Values communication with ACU through RS232 interface
  • Monopulse, also known as simultaneous lobe comparison, is a technique for measuring the direction of arrival of radiation.
  • The radiation may emanate from an active source such as a distant transmitting antenna, a beacon, a jammer, an astronomical body, or from a passive source—that is, a target or scatterer that reradiates some of the power incident on it.
  • It enables precise angle error detection using Monopulse techniques for automatic antenna alignment, ensuring reliable tracking of fast-moving aerial or spaceborne targets.
