abstract: Through interval arithmetic, the robustness of reconfigurable monopulse linear antenna arrays is analyzed, considering both element malfunctions and random deviations from nominal parameters. The derived power pattern bounds expose possible deviations from ideal patterns, highlighting the effects of amplifier failures. Validation and initial results demonstrate the method's effectiveness and potential.
