Abstract:

In order to solve the problems of complicated missile spin motion model and large amount of calculation, a new missile spin motion model is established. Based on the model, the effect of terrain fluctuation on the echo occlusion of missile-borne radar altimeter is considered. The simulation terrain and terrain occlusion algorithm are used to establish the radar echo model under terrain occlusion, and the simulation results of the radar echo and spectrum under different heights are obtained. Through the analysis of the echo, it is concluded that when the radar angle of oblique irradiation exceeds 65.3° at 10 km, the terrain relief has a significant effect on the radar echo shadowing and the frequency shift of radar echo occurs. The conclusion is consistent with the actual situation, which verifies the accuracy of the model, and it provides some theoretical support for the follow-up echo simulation of missile-borne radar altimeter.

Key words: missile-borne radar altimeter, spin motion model, simulation terrain, terrain occlusion algorithm, occlusion echo model
