Abstract

The combined reflector-lens antenna having the common monopulse feed system is proposed for changing the sum and difference patterns width by turning of lamellate subreflector. Such an antenna allows one to improve a target detection probability with the same tracking accuracy. Information for antenna designing is done. The prototype antenna measurements are discussed.
