This master thesis investigates how certain components error margin may affect the accuracy of a IFF monopulse receiver. The IFF monopulse receiver measures the angle of arrival of the incident signal by comparing sum and difference signals created in the receiver. The components of interest are phase shifters and attenuators, where both can give individual and different errors depending on the antenna steering angle. The project is conducted at Saab Aeronautics, based on a receiver in development for the Gripen E aircraft. The results of the thesis generated results showing that the angular accuracy decreases with the increase of steering angle. The angular deviation can for some cases be seen as sufficiently small for the receiver to work properly in the ideal case.
