Abstract

The invention relates to a method for improving the angular resolution of a monopulse radar. Starting from the sum signal S, a direction signal θb, and a signal representing the quadrature angle-error measurement |εq ε, the method consists of calculating in a first device 201 a signal Δθ representing the wingspan of the target, then of calculating in a second device 202 two measuring signals θA and θB representing respectively the direction of the external limits of the target, as well as a signal Q representing the quality of these measurements and finally of carrying out an adaptive filtering operation on the measurements in a third device 203, in order to obtain filtered estimates for Δθ, θA and θB.
