The monopulse technique has been widely used for target detection in Radar Tracking Systems. Various modern technologies have been used to implement it. The use of microstrip technology in the monopulse technique attracted a lot of researchers due to the light weight and the ability to integrate the antenna with the monopulse processing network in one structure. In most of the implementations the effect of monopulse processing network on the antenna performance is not considered. In this work, a novel shielding method is proposed to isolate the feed network form the system without loss of compactness. The proposed method might be used in different applications however special emphasis is given to the monopulse systems. A study has been carried out using the full wave Microwave Simulation software CST to demonstrate the efficiency of the shielding method, as well as a comparison between the planer monopulse shielded system and the conventional planer system. The design frequency was chosen to be 3GHz and the commercial FR-4 substrate was used. The final designed array was further improved by using a non-rectangular distribution, to reduce the minor lobes due to the planar array nature. The improved design exhibited difference nulls exactly at zero with depths about -23dB, the sum pattern maximum directivity was 18.4 dBi with sidelobes less than -23dB in E and H- planes. Due to the suppression of the feed network radiation the patterns of the proposed design were much more symmetrical than conventional monopulse arrays with deeper nulls.
