Bing Powered by Al eScan and Single Channel Monopulse (SCM) are both techniques used in tracking antennas for telemetry applications, Here are some differences between them: Side Lobe Suppression: eScan provides superior side lobe characteristics compared to SCM due to its capability to control side lobes in both the scanned, offset beam plane and the orthogonal plane. This results in improved side lobe suppression. Crosstalk Performance: eScan offers improved capability in reducing crosstalk between the two orthogonal tracking channels. This leads to better crosstalk performance compared to SCM. Frequency Control and Bandwidth: eScan provides better control over offset beam frequency and offers a wider frequency bandwidth. Flexibility: eScan retains the flexibility of simultaneous generation of a separate unmodulated data channel and a modulated tracking channel. It also has the flexibility of an electronic scanned beam rather than a mechanical scanned beam. Hardware Requirements: The principal advantage of SCM is that it requires less hardware compared to full monopulse systems. However, it’s not directly compared with eScan in this aspect. In summary, while both eScan and SCM have their own advantages, eScan seems to offer several improvements over SCM in terms of side lobe suppression, crosstalk performance, frequeney control, bandwidth, and flexibility. However, the choice between eScan and SCM would depend on the specific requirements of the application.
