  • Patent number: 6518912
    Abstract: A signal processing circuit is disclosed for providing fuze-on-jam capability in a target detecting device, while in the presence of continuous wave or continuous wave noise jammer signals. A target detection system will protect the target detecting device from noise jammers and continuous wave radars or continuous wave jammers by providing a circuit which samples the negative or positive bias produced by the noise modulated CW signal and produces either positive or negative polarity as seen by the antenna. If negative pulses are produced, they will actuate the target detecting gate and guard circuit and after the missile has passed the critical angle of the antenna the phase change will then produce firing in the normal manner. The sampled output is fed into the target detecting mixing circuit and no interference with normal operations of the target detecting device occurs while a fuze-on-jam or CW capability is provided.

  • Patent number: 4321871
    Abstract: A passive target detecting system for discriminating against both doppler d continuous wave off-target radars. A signal from the missile guidance system representing the pulse repetition frequency of the target being tracked is combined in a coincidence circuit with the signals received by the target detecting device. Doppler signals are compared directly while CW signals are processed through a chopper amplifier circuit to simulate doppler signals before comparison.
