Conical Scan
The conical scan is another method to find the
angular error in angle tracking. This error is then
used to control the servo motors to find and predict
the accurate location, movement and direction of a
moving object. Angular error is the error signal that
we get when we compare the amplitudes of the
voltage signals that we receive from the two
switching beams that we use to track an object.
sequential lobing
Sequential lobing is also known as lobe
switching or sequential switching.
As we understood above, there is generally a
difference between the actual target location and
the reference direction of the tracking radar.
This difference is known as the angular error.
In sequential lobing, the position of the antenna
beam is switched between two positions. This
