Abstract
A system for elimination of transmitter (illuminator) leakage in a high duty cycle, pulsed, pseudonoise, semi-active missile guidance system. The missile has front and back receiving systems, and the illuminator signal extant at the rear receiver is used to develop a gating signal which turns the front receiver 'off' during the time of arrival of the leakage signals at the front receiver. The receiver gating is automatically time adjusted as a function of missile range. Alternate reversal of the bi-phase transmitted code bits is offered as a means of reducing the 'eclipsing' loss due to receiver gating out of useful signal return from the target being tracked.
