METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MAGNETIC GUIDANCE, ESPECIALLY FOR TRACKING TARGETS

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device for magnetic guidance, especially for tracking targets. The guidance is carried out in relation to the axis (1) of the beam of a monopulse antenna, by means of coding in the beam space. The coding process is carried out by appropriately modulating the signals radiated by the sum pattern ( SIGMA ) and the difference pattern ( DELTA ). The receiving elements provided in the device are able to determine the position of said device in relation to the radiation pattern of the antenna, and can therefore determine its position in relation to the axis of the antenna. This position is determined by demodulating the signals received by the receiver. The invention is particularly suitable for guiding missiles or smart munitions in any quantity, for example for tracking targets.
