Monopulse Tracking with a Low Cost Pluto SDR

This is the second video of the DIY Phased Array Beamformer using the ADALM0-PLUTO. In this video, we explore why we need monopulse tracking for our phased array. Then we discuss how it works, and finally we implement it with the setup that we built in Part 1 of this series. The conclusion is a monopulse tracking algorithm which finds an RF signal and locks onto it as it moves around.
