it, unfortunately, uses magic. Complicated antenna manifolds like this are more art than science. you are not going to find a simple paper to explain all the little twerks they added to their cavities to make it work.
 

I particularly liked Biff44's answer.

I do not have a specific answer but I would look carefully at a number of references. Skolnik, Radar Handbook; Stimson, Introduction to Airborne Radar: Volakis (air any of the earlier editions) Antenna Engineering Handbook; I suspect that D. Pozar might also be useful (Microwave Engineering) for more specifics. Basically a monopulse converter is a collection of hybrids and a corporate feed behind four horns that produces a main beam and difference patterns in elevation and azimuth. It can be used to guide an antenna based on a single pulse.

The references should provide you with a reasonably good starting point.
