    摘要: A protective system for a vehicle-borne tracking radar, designed to counter the effect of an off-target jammer whose interfering signals are picked up by a directive antenna together with echoes from an actual target, comprises a receiver with a sum channel and a difference channel. In the absence of a jammer, the sum channel is connected via a signal processor to telemetric circuitry in the radar associated with the vehicular guidance system which keeps the antenna axis trained upon the target as the vehicle homes in on same. When a strong jamming signal is detected, a switching device in the processor cuts off the sum channel from the telemetric circuitry and supplies the latter, instead, with rectified error signals from the difference channel, these error signals being also delivered prior to rectification to a tracking-control circuit which energizes an antenna rotator to hold its axis in line with the jammer. The presence of a jammer may be detected by a signal-level comparator with two circuit branches connected to the sum channel, these branches including respective integrators which are alternately supplied with incoming signals in a target window and in a jammer window occurring at different instants of a recurrence period. Another possible jammer-signal detector, which may be included in the processor, receives the rectified error signal from the difference channel in the target window and produces a "jammer present" signal whenever the accumulated error signals exceed a predetermined threshold.

    摘要: A band-compressor devices designed to match to one another two systems having different pass bands, comprises means for coding input signals in the form of N digital signals corresponding, at any instant, to the amplitude of the input signal with respect to N quantizing levels. N bistable trigger stages of RS or JK type, followed by as many D-type bistable stages, are provided to receive said digital signals on the one hand and pulses furnished by a clock on the other. The output signals from the bistable stages of type D are then recombined in an adder in order to furnish analog signals or in a coder for furnishing signals in binary form.

    摘要: The invention relates to an arrangement for suppressing the echos received in the side lobes of a main antenna of a radar system. An auxiliary antenna, whose diagram overlaps with the side lobes of the main antenna, supplies a signal B which is compared with the signal A from the main antenna. The comparison is performed between microwave signals or intermediate frequency signals by means of an operating circuit which emits signals S.sub.1 = A + k.sub.1 B and S.sub.2 = k.sub.2 (A - k.sub.1 B) where k.sub.1 and k.sub.2 are amplitude and phase modifying complex coefficients, and an amplitude and phase demodulating circuit which receives S.sub.1 and S.sub.2, one of which may possibly be in phase quadrature. The presence of an off-center echo, for example, results in a threshold being exceeded by the filtered demodulated signal.

    摘要: A radar system emitting a recurrent sequence of n equispaced bursts of carrier frequency, varying from one burst to the next, has a transmitter including a carrier-frequency generator with a frequency-varying motor driven by a synchronizing circuit to produce a repetitive frequency pattern recurring a whole number of times in a program cycle of n pulse periods. An associated receiver includes a local oscillator whose frequency is incremented, from one pulse period to the next, by a feedback circuit comprising a modulator with inputs connected to the output of this oscillator and to a coupler picking up the instantaneous carrier frequency from the transmitter output; this modulator works into a frequency discriminator, tuned to a predetermined intermediate frequency, returning an error signal to a control input of the oscillator via a multiple integrator concurrently storing all the error signals for the several pulse periods; an adder superposes these error signals upon a monitoring signal extracted at the beginning of each pulse period from the carrier-frequency generator. The multiple integrator includes an operational amplifier with n parallel capacitors in respective feedback paths which are normally open-circuited and are sequentially connected in circuit under the control of a shift register restarted at the beginning of each program cycle. A similar multiple integrator may be inserted in an automatic-gain-control circuit for an intermediate-frequency amplifier in the output of a mixer which heterodynes the received echoes with the local-oscillator output.
