Abstract
Traditional monopulse radar cannot resolve two closely spaced targets present in one resolution cell (range and Doppler) by means of the monopulse ratio. This study presents a closed-form solution to resolve the directions of arrival of two unresolved targets using a single snapshot of four independent channels in phase comparison monopulse radar. If both targets have the same elevation or same azimuth direction, the proposed scheme cannot estimate their directions. To estimate the direction of such targets, an extra antenna is required. The impact of input noise power, the targets’ direction, and phase difference of the targets’ signal on the accuracy of angle estimation are also explained. The numerical simulation result validates the effectiveness of the presented scheme.
