Direction-finger without upper cover

Distortion (1) and fields superposition (2) of receiving channels compensated for by a processing scheme to calculate spherical coordinates
|
Purpose
Fixing of laser-induced target illumination and determination of angular coordinates of laser sources.
The direction-finger serves for fixing Nd-glass and ytterbium lasers. The direction-finder makes it possible to detect both a single pulse and continuous radiation. Recognition is made by their spatial-temporal characteristics. Information on the target position given in spherical coordinate system is transferred in real time to display with update rate of 50 Hz.
The direction-finder contains 4 receiving channels installed in a circle with a spacing of 900 and turned to 350 about a vertical. Consequently, the device has an all-around looking in azimuth and overlaps most of the upper hemisphere (except for a zenith zone).
Spectral, spatial, amplitude and temporal recognitions are implemented by this direction-finder.
