Abstract

The improved radiometric target seeking system incorporates automatic gain control features including phase tracking automatic gain and automatic gain scan amplitude controls in a system which is basically a dual-axis, gimballed, conical-scan radiometric sensor designed to operate in either active or passive modes and to provide angular line-of-sight rate steering signals to guidance control apparatus. Target-derived automatic gain control signals permit separation of desired stationary target signals from significant background clutter, and a unique adaptive processor minimizes degradation of tracking response and accuracy.
