Notes on Real-Beam Ground Mapping with Monopulse Radar
The spatial awareness required of modern flight systems is facilitated by images generated by ground-mapping radar. In the forward and aft directions, synthetic aperture techniques are not viable, leaving us with enhancing real aperture radar data. Enhancing real aperture radar data with monopulse information can be achieved with any of several monopulse beam sharpening techniques. Two such algorithms are discussed.
