SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PHASED ARRAY BEAM CONTROL

Described embodiments provide techniques for controlling a phased array system by a control system including one or more distributed control stations. At least one of the control stations displays a control interface having a status window, a beam window, and a scan window. The control system instructs the phased array system to operate in an operating mode selected from among selectable operating modes displayed in the status window. In the beam window, at least one beam is selected from among selectable beams available to track a target. The control system instructs the phased array system to form the selected beam and assigns the formed beam to (i) track a target detected by the phased array system, or (ii) monitor a selected location. The scan window displays (i) targets tracked by the phased array system, and (ii) beams generated by the phased array system.

Monopulse arbitrary phase detection and removal

Systems and method for detecting and removing an arbitrary phase difference between a sum channel signal and a difference channel signal in a monopulse system. A sum channel signal is received from a sum channel signal source and a difference channel signal is received from a difference channel signal source. The difference channel signal is shifted according to various potential arbitrary phase differences φ.sub.i and φ.sub.i+π (where φ.sub.i is from 0 to π radians, i=0, 1, . . . , n; φ.sub.i+π going from π to 2π radians) between the sum and difference channel signals to thereby generate difference channel signals each having a different phase. The difference channels having a different phase are combined with the sum channel signal to generate a plurality of sum+difference signals and sum−difference signals. Based on the plurality of sum+difference signals and sum−difference signals, maximum in-phase and out-of-phase correlations are determined from the φ.sub.i and φ.sub.i+π pairs. The maximum in-phase and out-of-phase correlation pairs are used in an error estimate calculation.
