Design of a Millimeter Wave Data Link for a Radar Guided Missile
Abstract
This report describes a systems-level design of a data link that enables a high velocity missile to receive guidance commands from a 35 GHzRadar. The objectives for this design include a Bit Error Rate (BER) of 10-6 at 1 km downrange, low power consumption, and miniaturized components so that the data link can fit on the back of a missile. No custom designed electronic chips are necessary. The design assumes the implementation of Boolean equations for Cyclic Redundance checking (CRC) on a programmable logic device. The report concludes that based on a simple rainfall attenuation model, the system can meet the BER performance objective in moderate rain.
