[QUOTE="overscan (PaulMM), post: 349, member: 1"] [quote]CONOPULSE is a hybrid angle-tracking system combining monopulse and conical scan techniques. Two squinted beams are rotated or nutated in space in a conical scan manner. The received signals are processed either with monopulse processing followed by conical scan or vice versa. The advantage claimed for the conopulse technique is that, like monopulse, amplitude fluctuations do not affect the angular accuracy, while only two receivers are required instead of three used in a conventional monopulse tracker. With modern solid-state technology, it can be easier to realize the third receiver than to arrange proper scanning of a pair of squinted beams. Sometimes conopulse is called [b]scan with compensation.[/b] [/quote] This sounds to me like what is described above. Makes sense! Its a hybrid system which has similar resistance to angle deception as monopulse but uses less reciever channels, and has fallen out of use with "modern solid-state technology".
