Pointing error and variance estimators for an open-loop conical scan system are derived and analyzed. Conscan algorithm is modeled as a weighted least-squares estimator whose inputs are samples of receiver carrier power and its associated measurement uncertainty. The performance equation is applied to a 34-m mirror-based beam-waveguide conscan system.
