Abstract :
Propagation of radar signals through turbulence produces an erroneous off-axis angle indication in a conventional monopulse radar. Such turbulent propagation also creates a phase-quadrature (imaginary) component of the indicated angle which can be used to detect the presence of these errors in the real angle indication.
