Abstract :
Improvements to ground secondary-radar interrogators, as described, will increase the accuracy of bearing measurements and, at the same time, permit the reduction of the interference with other stations. The system uses monopulse techniques to allow direction finding with errors of 5 minutes of arc r.m.s. at a range of 60 n.m. The proposals made represent a step towards selective interrogation.
