Abstract. Calculation of cross-couplings between the tracking system axes in TM₀₁-mode monopulse antenna with respect to ellipticity coefficients of a receiving antenna and the incident field is performed. Pointing correction paths are given for diverse values of ellipticity coefficients and angular directions of the incident wave. Acceptable values of ellipticity coefficients for the robust performance of tracking system are determined.

Key words: monopulse tracking antenna, TM₀₁-mode, sum and difference radiation patterns, coefficient of ellipticity.
