In many monopulse radars, feedback in the angle-tracking servo system is taken to be directly proportional to the monopulse ratio. In those radars, monopulse measurements are conditioned on simultaneous occurrences of receiver sum-channel video exceeding a detection threshold: if a detection fails to occur, the measurement is ignored, and the angle-tracking servo is made to coast. Such conditioning is shown to be necessary in order that the noise power be finite in the servo feedback. The conditional mean value and conditional variance of the monopulse ratio are derived and quantified in terms of threshold level as well as signal-to-noise ratio. The formulation permits the noise covariance between receiver difference and sum channels to be complex rather than only real-valued, so that the sources of noise jamming are not required to be positioned in the receiving-antenna mainlobe and to be copolarized with the antenna response there. Nonfluctuating and Rayleigh-fluctuating target cases are considered and compared, and fluctuation loss is quantified.<>
