Thesis (MScEng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / This thesis documents the design and implementation of an S-band receiver for phasecomparison
monopulse radar. The design and evaluation of the various sub-systems involved
in realizing the receiver are discussed in detail. The designed sub-systems are connected
via low loss coaxial cables to form the complete phase-comparison monopulse radar
receiver. The performance of the receiver is evaluated and compared with the theoretical
results, in terms of frequency response, gain and noise figure.
The designed receiver is finally connected to an existing antenna system, and a preliminary
test of the complete radar is performed. The initial results show that the design is successful,
but the boresight-axis of the radar has shifted in angle and requires pre-comparator phase
shifting in order to obtain accurate tracking.
