This paper presents a description of RADSCAN, a novel conically scanning tracking feed which has only one moving part and utilizes a solid state optical commutator for reference. The feed operates continuously from 1435 to 2400 MHz thereby covering all the existing telemetry bonds in addition to the proposed new bond from 2300 to 2400 MHz. The performance of RADSCAN is compared to that obtainable with the single-channel monopulse technique.Sponsors
