  • Patent number: 6568629
    Abstract: A process and a device for electromagnetic guidance of a craft, applied in particular to the tracking of targets. Guidance is carried out with respect to the axis of the beam of a monopulse antenna, by coding in space of the beam. The coding is carried out by appropriate modulation of the signals radiated by a sum pattern and difference pattern. A receiver is disposed in the craft to make it possible to determine the position of the craft with respect to the antenna radiation patterns, and hence its position with respect to the axis of the antenna, the determination of this position being performed by demodulating the signals captured by the receiver. The process and device may be applied in particular in respect of the guidance of any number of missiles or intelligent munitions, for example in the tracking of targets.
