METHOD OF FORMATION OF OPTICAL FIELD FOR REMOTE ORIENTATION OF CONTROLLED PLANTS AND DEVICE FOR ITS REALIZATION Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: remote control of machines, in particular, missiles. SUBSTANCE: formation of optical field is accomplished by filling of the zone in the vicinity of the axis with optical flux, filling is carried but by its scanning by "plane" (knife-edge) beams deflected with a mutual time shift in mutually perpendicular coordinate axes perpendicular to the beam planes, radiation is performed by signals, each consisting of two pulses, the time interval between them is constant for each beam and has its value for each beam; the time interval between signals for each beam is varied at a beam deflection from the sight optical axis, and the sign of deviation of the specified intervals from the reference values corresponding to the zero values of coordinates is reversed when the beam crosses the direction coinciding with the sight optical axis. EFFECT: reduced mass, dimensions and power consumption of ground equipment, transmission of additional information in a beam along with information on coordinates. 2 cl, 5 dwg
