Abstract

Abstract: The dual-frequency monopulse antenna is on the front end of the dual-mode seeker, and its geometrical and radiation characteristics both decide the performance of a system. In this paper, a new dual-frequency monopulse antenna is introduced; it adopts a compact slot radiator, a novel side-feed array, a waveguide feeding network in one dimension to reduce microstrip loss and other novel designs. After second optimization to overcome the engineering problem, an improved antenna is created, and it is divided into two parts to improve weldability and yield. The tested results show that the antenna has good monopulse characteristics in two bands at the same time, with an efficiency of 38％ and 45％, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate that this design is effective.

Key words: dual-band, monopulse, efficiency, side-lobe
