The invention discloses an S-frequency-band monopulse self-tracking antenna system which comprises an antenna and a feed source system. The feed source system comprises an antenna feed source and a beam forming network (12). The antenna feed source comprises five crossed vibrators (8) which are arranged in a rhombus distribution structure. One crossed vibrator (8) is a central vibrator unit arranged on the point of intersection of diagonal lines of the rhombus. The other four crossed vibrators (8) are outside vibrator units which are arranged on the four vertexes of the rhombus respectively. The five crossed vibrators (8) receive signals. The beam forming network (12) comprises a sum signal forming circuit and a difference signal forming circuit. The sum signal forming circuit is connected with the central vibrator unit. The difference signal forming circuit is connected with the outside vibrator units. According to the S-frequency-band monopulse self-tracking antenna system, the central vibrator unit receives a formed sum signal, the outside vibrator units receive formed difference signals, and therefore monopulse self-tracking is achieved.
