Abstract
Monopulse radar, both in amplitude- and phase-comparison configurations, has been in service for many years as has the terrain mapping side scan or side looking airborne radar.(1) The latter system as a coherent synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has produced microwave maps of photographic resolution. Under what circumstance can we combine a monopulse system (explained in section 2) with a noncoherent side scan radar (section 3) or a coherent synthetic aperture radar (section 4)? To justify some of the claims an experimental air sonar was built to model a side looking radar using a monopulse configuration and the results of these experiments (shown in section 6) justify a more detailed investigation.
