Abstract

This paper reports a study conducted to design a seeker required for active homing on a guided missile through Simulink. The designed seeker consists of a transmitter that can propagate a radiofrequency (RF) pulse signal and a receiver that receives an RF reflected signal. The receiver performs range tracking by utilizing a range gate. Additionally, it was designed to perform LOS angle tracking by utilizing an amplitude-comparison monopulse antenna and a gimbal control system. The seeker has three conversion modes: acquisition, track, and search. The designed seeker was verified by providing it the measurements required for guided control. The missile using the designed seeker accurately hit the target.
