A radar monopulse method is proposed for determining the roll angle of an aircraft using a passive radio beacon with specified polarization scattering characteristics, in which the reflected radio pulse contains complete information about the roll angle of the aircraft. The passive beacon is a polarization-anisotropic trihedral corner reflector with horizontal natural polarization. To determine the roll of the aircraft, the onboard radar uses probing pulsed radio signals with a linear plane of p
