The document describes the block diagram and technical specifications of a radar proximity fuse (RPF) system. The RPF system uses a DRO source at Ku-band frequency which is divided and used for both transmission and reception. In transmission, the signal is modulated with a PN code and amplified before being transmitted from two antennas. In reception, the reflected signal is received, demodulated, amplified and processed using DSP to detect targets. Key specifications include a target range of 2-45 meters and minimum receiver sensitivity of -90dBm to produce a firing pulse.

A DRO based source generates a power at KU-Band
frequency. The output is fed to an Amplifier and followed by a power divider. One output of the power divider is fed to the De-Modulator (as LO signal) in the receiver chain. The second output from the power divider is fed to isolator and a Modulator in the Transmitter chain. This CW signal is modulated with a 31-bit length Pseudo -random Noise (P-N) code. The output of the modulator is fed to the driver amplifier and the output of driver amplifier is divided in two channels through a 2-way power divider. This signal is finally amplified to the required power level using power amplifiers in each channel. The output from the power amplifiers are taken away through isolators. The signal outputs are connected to two transmitting antennae through low loss cables. A control signal K8 from ground control enables the transmitter during flight.
The illuminated target reflects the RF Power
incident on it . The reflected power which carries Doppler frequency information depending on the target velocity and signal interception is received by receiving antennae. The output from antenna is fed to the Receiver module through an external LNA. In the Receiver module, the signal is demodulated after amplification and then amplified with a video and AGC amplifier.
The output of the video amplifier is given to a Digital
Signal Processing sub-system, which has the capability of recognizing the target signal in the presence of a high amplitude clutter domain The DSP consists of correlators, band pass filters (Doppler 10KHz 120KHz), delay circuits and FFT and CFAR algorithms.
The power supply module supplies the various DC voltages to drive the RF & Digital section 3. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
