Abstract: The radar system includes a sum and difference network coupled to a conventional monopulse type antenna. The difference signals or error signals are applied into a modulator in space quadrature with electrical vectors in a direction transverse to the direction of propagation polarized at right angles to each other. A rotating magnetic field in the modulator causes any energy that is in line with this field to be continually rotated and applied to a coupler that is sensitive. During search the shutter is closed so that only unmodulated sum energy is passed through the circulator to the receiving unit. For tracking the shutter is opened and the reflecting post is positioned to reflect a selected portion of the error signal energy and pass a selected portion of the sum signal energy, both of which are absorbed in the isolator. The system provides a simplified selection of the lobing frequency by controlling the velocity of the rotating magnetic field at the modulator.

Abstract: The invention utilizes a four-port hybrid junction in which a signal to be amplified or a low level stable reference signal is coupled to a first port in which a pair of similar or matched amplifiers or oscillators are coupled to the respective second and third ports of the hybrid, and in which the resulting amplified or coherent stabilized power of the two amplifiers or oscillators is provided at the fourth port of the hybrid junction.
