Abstract
The invention relates to a method for improving the angular resolution of a monopulse radar. Starting from the sum signal S, a direction signal .theta..sub.b, and a signal representing the quadrature angle-error measurement .vertline..epsilon..sub.q .epsilon., the method consists of calculating in a first device 201 a signal .DELTA..theta. representing the wingspan of the target, then of calculating in a second device 202 two measuring signals .theta..sub.A and .theta..sub.B representing respectively the direction of the external limits of the target, as well as a signal Q representing the quality of these measurements and finally of carrying out an adaptive filtering operation on the measurements in a third device 203, in order to obtain filtered estimates for .DELTA..theta., .theta..sub.A and .theta..sub.B.
