METHOD FOR FORMING OF CONTROL SIGNALS IN SINGLE-PULSE HOMING HEADS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC G05D1/12 G01S13/91 

FIELD: homing heads with single-pulse direction finders installed on missiles.

SUBSTANCE: partial neutralization of the negative influence of the target angular noise on the trajectory of the missile-to-target approach is attained due to the refusal from pursuit by the missile of the target phase control "wandering" far beyond the limits of the geometric dimensions of the target proper, and transition to a regular shift of the missile trajectory towards the increase of the amplitude of the received signal, as a results, the missile trajectory acquires a smoother shape thus decreasing the missile misses. To this end, the autopilot control signal is formed as sum η=Kα+β, where main signal α of the single-pulse direction finder regulated in amplitude is used as the first component, and auxiliary signal β of the single-pulse direction finder is used as the second component, and coefficient K is selected by a monotonically diminishing function of the modulus of auxiliary single |β|.

EFFECT: partially neutralized negative influence of the target angular noise on the missile-to-target approach trajectory.
