Abstract

Antenna arrays are potentially useful for both the transmission and the reception of trains of electromagnetic pulses. In this paper, we formulate an aiming problem pertaining to an RKA- driven launcher of microwave pulses, and draw on a study of quantum measurements to develop an approach to aiming. Appendix A reviews the behavior of microwave radiation focused at a target in the Fresnel zone. Appendix B derives the antenna current for optimal angular sensitivity of a monopulse radar for a target in the Fresnel zone, very close to the axis.
