  • Monopulse radar system for determining the height of a target
    Patent number: 6819285
    Abstract: An improved method of estimating target elevation angle for dual squinted beam radar systems is disclosed. The target's elevation angle is estimated by receiving complex I/Q data from two receive radar beams and calculating the complex ratio of the complex I/Q data. The calculated complex ratio is compared to a set of previously determined reference complex ratios in complex lookup tables that have been corelated to known target elevation angles.
