Abstract :
This paper presents first results of experimental amplitude comparison monopulse direction finder for harmonic radar. Aperture coupled patch antenna arrays are used for operation in 1.5 GHz band with 10% operation bandwidth. Antennas with leaf characteristic enable 50° sector of operation in azimuth. Problems with common (circular) polarisation are discussed.
