Abstract
The antenna elevation control signal and the associated staticequilibrium equations are analyzed for the case of tracking of lowaltitude targets for both monopulse and conical-scanning radar. Three possible equilibrium positions of the radar antenna under static operating conditions are ascertained. The static solutions suggest certain dynamic solutions that are likely to arise under practical conditions. The extreme values of the pointing error are shown in graphical form.
