The isolation of mainbeam and sidelobe jamming signals from the desired signal being relayed by microwave communication links is accomplished by an antijamming antenna comprising a flat radome, a curved reflector and a transmit dipole. Positioned adjacent the dipole is a monopulse feed and comparator for main-beam jammers (dual-plane monopulse, multi-mode multilayer feed). Also forming part of the integrated antenna are auxiliary units for near-sidelobe and far-sidelobe jammers. An alternative embodiment includes a Cassegrain grating sub-reflector. Since the direction of the desired incoming signal in microwave communication links is precisely known, the antijamming antenna uses azimuth and elevation monopulse to make a spatial distinction between the desired incoming signal and the jamming signals. The antijamming antenna system outputs: a sum, azimuth difference elevation difference signals and isolated near-sidelobe jamming signals and far-sidelobe jamming signals on output ports which allow an adaptive processor to place pattern nulls on jammers located in the mainbeam and sidelobe region of the antenna.
