2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a monopulse radar apparatus using this kind of sum and difference antenna pattern, a monopulse antenna 1 as shown in FIG. 5 is used to determine the left and right of the beam nose (hereinafter referred to as quadrant). Each of the sum signal and the difference signal from (1) corresponds to the one-to-one correspondence with the received signal, and the received signal is amplified and phase-detected to output a video signal (I-video) and a quadrature-phase detected component signal (Q-video) of the I-video. The receiver 2 and the A / D converter 3 for converting the I and Q video signals into digital signals respectively, and the digital I and Q video signal outputs from the A / D converter 3 as inputs, The I / Q combiner 201 for calculating and the phase angle calculator 202 for calculating the phase angle formed by the I and Q signals, and the phase angle of the sum and difference are input to calculate the difference between the phase angles of the sum and difference to determine the quadrant. Quadrant A vessel 203, amplitude ratio calculator calculates the amplitude ratio of the sum and difference sum, the difference each amplitude value as an input 204
Have. Here, the phase angle calculator 202 determines that tan −1 (Q
/ I) needs to be calculated, but it is difficult to realize tan −1 in applications that require real-time processing, such as radar signal processing.
Therefore, the calculation of the normal tan -1, referred to as a table in advance by calculating the value of the advance tan -1, table lookup circuit is used. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the quadrant determination uses the fact that the phases of the received signals of the sum and the difference are opposite to each other with the beam nose of the sum beam as a boundary. (In the case of the sum difference in-phase) It is judged as the right of the beam nose, and when the phase difference of the sum difference is approximately 180 ° (in the case of the sum difference opposite phase) it is judged as the left of the beam nose.

On the other hand, in the determination of this quadrant, the receiving devices are different depending on the sum and the difference, and due to the variations of the receiving devices, the phase difference between the sum and the difference signals, which was almost zero in the antenna, is the receiving device. The output will never be zero. For this reason, the reference signal is superimposed on the antenna output, and the phase difference of the difference signal is shifted by the phase shifter in the receiving device using the phase difference of the sum and difference at the output of the receiving device with respect to this reference signal as the correction value. Therefore, the error due to this variation is corrected.

In such a conventional phase correction method using a phase shifter, it is possible to reduce the minimum unit (called resolution) by which the phase shifter can shift the phase. Difficult (In order to shift the phase of analog signals, basic phase shifters with a phase shift amount equivalent to a predetermined resolution are cascaded until the required phase shift amount is obtained. If it is made small, the number of cascade connections required becomes large and the scale becomes large, which makes it difficult to realize.) Therefore, the amount of phase shift may change due to the change in the calculated correction value. In radar processing that performs Doppler processing in recent years, such phase fluctuations cause processing errors.

Therefore, a method of calculating and correcting a correction value by digital processing after A / D conversion has been considered. However, in this case, so-called complex multiplication processing is necessary for correction processing (I and Q signals after phase detection are quadrature signals, and are treated as complex numbers in processing), and the circuit configuration becomes complicated. There was a problem (complex multiplication requires 4 multipliers and 2 adders).

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a monopulse radar apparatus using this kind of sum and difference antenna pattern, a monopulse antenna 1 as shown in FIG. 5 is used to determine the left and right of the beam nose (hereinafter referred to as quadrant). Each of the sum signal and the difference signal from (1) corresponds to the one-to-one correspondence with the received signal, and the received signal is amplified and phase-detected to output a video signal (I-video) and a quadrature-phase detected component signal (Q-video) of the I-video.

Here, the phase angle calculator 202 is tan −1.
Although it is necessary to calculate (Q / I), it is necessary to use function approximation to calculate tan −1 , which is difficult to realize in applications that require real-time processing such as radar signal processing. Therefore, in order to calculate the normal tan −1 , t
A table lookup circuit is used that calculates the value of an −1 and refers to it as a table. Also,
The quadrant is determined by utilizing the fact that the phases of the received signals of the sum and the difference are opposite to each other with the beam nose of the sum beam as a boundary, as shown in FIG. In the case of difference in-phase) The phase difference of the sum difference is about 180 to the right of the beam nose.
In case of ° (in the case of sum difference opposite phase), it is judged as the left of the beam nose.

On the other hand, in the determination of this quadrant, the receivers are different for each of the sum and the difference, and due to the variations of the receivers, the phase difference between the sum and difference signals, which was almost zero in the antenna, is the receiver. The output will never be zero. For this reason, the reference signal is superimposed on the antenna output, and the phase of the difference signal is phase-shifted by the phase shifter in the receiving device using the phase difference of the sum and difference at the output of the receiving device with respect to this reference signal as the correction value. Therefore, the error due to this variation is corrected.

In such a conventional phase correction method using a phase shifter, it is possible to reduce the minimum unit (called resolution) by which the phase shifter can shift the phase. Difficult (In order to shift the phase of analog signals, basic phase shifters with a phase shift amount equivalent to a predetermined resolution are cascaded until the required phase shift amount is obtained. If it is made small, the number of cascade connections required becomes large, and the scale becomes large, which makes it difficult to realize). Therefore, the amount of phase shift may change due to the change in the calculated correction value. In the radar processing that performs the Doppler processing in recent years, such a phase fluctuation is a processing error, and thus cannot be allowed.

Therefore, a method of calculating and correcting a correction value by digital processing after A / D conversion has been considered. However, in this case, so-called complex multiplication processing is necessary for correction processing (I and Q signals after phase detection are quadrature signals, and are treated as complex numbers in processing), and the circuit configuration becomes complicated. There was a point (complex multiplication, requiring 4 multipliers and 2 adders).
