  • Patent number: 4467327
    Abstract: An active millimeter wave simulator for missile seeker evaluations wherein a missile seeker generates seeker signals and transmits them in the direction of an array of active antenna elements. Range timing signals are delayed in a time delay circuit to simulate a range between the missile seeker and a target. The seeker signals as received by the active antenna elements are supplied to a millimeter wave spectrum analyzer for determination of their frequency. A computer receives the determined frequency and controls a millimeter wave source to generate simulated target response signals with that same frequency but delayed in accordance with the time delay signal. The computer controls a master target control circuit to select a triad of antennas in the antenna array and to generate a phase center in the triad generating the target response signals. The millimeter wave spectrum analyzer further determines the frequency of the target response signals.
