Modeling of a Flexible Characteristics of the Antenna in a Microwave Seeker

전자기파 탐색기의 안테나 유연특성 모델링

The model of azimuth driving servo system with a flexible antenna in a microwave seeker has been derived in this paper. The validity of the model is verified by comparing the result of the model with that of experiment. It is found that one should consider an antenna as a flexible body in case of modeling the dynamics of the microwave seeker. It is also known that the effect of reducing backlash magnitude for extending the bandwidth in the system with a flexible antenna is smaller than that in the system with a stiff antenna. It is thought that the model-based design optimization of the microwave seeker will become possible by virtue of the derived model, when a weight reduction and a bandwidth extension are required.
