A method of processing in a two-channel monopulse receiver and processor is shown to include the steps of: (a) forming composite signals equal to [S+(p+jy)] and [S-(p+jy)] where S in a monopulse sum signal and p and y are, respectively, pitch and yaw error signals; (b) alternately passing the composite signals through a two-channel amplifier; and (c) separating the components in the resulting amplified composite signals for conventional monopulse processing and smoothing to eliminate the effects of any imbalance (in phase or amplitude) between the channels in the two-channel amplifier.

Circuitry for compensating for the effects of changes in ambient temperature on an automatic gain control arrangement in a missile-borne receiver is shown to include an operational amplifier responsive only to the level of the output signal from an automatic gain detector and amplifier, such end being effected by using temperature sensitive elements in the input and feedback circuits of the operational amplifier.
