This is really funny! On the 5th, someone posted a question about how a dish tracks a satellite, and I told them to go
look up monopulse techniques for the answer and got roundly slapped around the head and shoulders for offering a non
answer. Now, here the three channel monopulse technique appears in a discussion of AUTOMOBILE TAIL LIGHTS for gosh
sakes.

Go figure.

Actually, no. I have however, worked on monopulse RADAR missile
seekers where the requirement for three phase and gain matched
receiver channels (sum, delta elevation, delta azimuth) was reduced to
two by time-sharing one delta channel. You can call this multiplexing
if you want (TDMA?), but as an r-f guy, I have a different take. At
any point in time the only data in the delta channel was *either*
elevation *or* azimuth, not both elevation *and* azimuth. (* maybe a
digital system after all? :-)
