Signal Processing in a Semi-Active Seeker

Abstract

In publicly available generic digital simulations of semi-active Radio Frequency (RF) seekers, the combined effect of multipath, sea-clutter and other non- linear noise sources are mainly studied in individual models, while the effect in the seekers data processing has not been systematically investigated. This report details these effects and how they have been combined to model the signal processing blocks inside a semi-active seeker. A basic doppler detection scheme is then simulated to investigate the consequence of these effects on target detection.
