Abstract

A method for active neutralization of the effect of the vibrations of a rotary-wing aircraft for a monostatic Doppler radar includes a first step of measuring and temporally extrapolating the vibration modes at the transmitting-receiving radar antenna, using a 3-axis vibration sensor, fixed to the antenna and near the phase centre of the antenna; then a second step of estimating the expected movements of the transmitting-receiving antenna or of the first transmitting antenna and the second receiving antenna; then a third step of compensating the expected movements of the transmission radar antenna in the transmission chain or in the reception chain of the radar transmitter, wherein the projection of the movement vector of the phase centre O on an aiming direction is calculated to determine the value of the compensation phase shift to be applied.
