So you have to sacrifice distance for shape, as in what exactly the object detected is? Depending on the frequency.
I hope i made clear
its how stuff works if you want to guide something towards the target
you need more waves contacting with the target
with less wave length
and more updated real time info
S band waves (low frequency) arent good at that since they're large as i said wave length is damn big
Thats why in military radars you see that theres a search range and a tracking range
I hope i didnt make it long because its more than that too
anyway
The Radio decoys are Radio waves emitters that spam radio waves of multiple frequencies
the incoming missile relies on radio waves from its own seeker or the ground fire control radar
but when you spam it with what is called 'aggressive' waves the missile cant say where the hell are you since it receives waves and cant time exactly when the correct wave is received
The seeker is like what the f*ck is going on and it can no longer keep a lock on your missile
How would you go about tracking down these jammers? Is there any easy way to finding them?
Yup so basically hmmm
there are two types of radars right
Theres whats called Pulse radar and Active Electronically scanned radar
Old pulse based radars are the one you saw in movies and mostly everywhere in the civile sector
they turn
AESA adar on the other hands have multiple transmitters if you wanna call them 'mini radars' that allow the thing to scan using their different placements without having to turn the radar antenna
The advantage you get is A you can change frequencies a lot easier now
and you can have multiple frequencies in multiple scan modules (transmitter-receiver)
Story goes far beyond that in how you do it but i'll make it simple and simple and say the usage of Gallium Nitrides in antennas supported the frequency ease of change now
anyway
B youre able to focus at multiple targets
since you dont have a single large dome antenna that can only follow one target and turn mechanically
you can assign every module to focus on a certain target
if for example your radar jammer emmits a different frequency the missile processing section with confirm 'Radar jammer' and will engage the change of frequency
now your jammer has to have something to counter that too
its like a cat and mouse game
i'll get to part 2 in a sec just finish reading
and tell me when youre good to go
Ok I think I got you, go on.
Alright
Any seeker to hit the target can use 2 ways
or pardon 3 ways
Active
Semi-Active
