MAST-11 Equivalent Altitude Simulator of Radio Altimeter

The MAST-09 Radio Altimeter Detection Unit is a compact, aerospace-grade component that monitors, validates, and processes radio altimeter data for aircraft. It filters interference, cross-references data with other flight sensors, and detects faults (e.g., signal loss, calibration drift) to deliver reliable terrain-relative altitude info—critical for safe takeoff, low-altitude flight, approach, and landing, even in low visibility. Built to meet strict aerospace standards (e.g., DO-160, DO-178), it withstands extreme environmental conditions, suiting commercial and military aircraft.

The MASS-06 Echo Signal Simulation Excitation System, hereinafter referred to as the "Simulation Excitation Source", is a dedicated equipment designed for the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation of radio altimeters. It serves as a key component in replicating real-world echo signal scenarios, providing targeted excitation signals that enable the radio altimeter to operate under simulated physical conditions—effectively bridging the gap between theoretical testing and actual operational environments to validate the altimeter’s performance, responsiveness, and reliability.

The MDG-300 radio height-fixing device operates in the C-band and adopts a pulse compression system. Its sensitive component is of the heterodyne type, and the circulator at the antenna terminal uses a transceiver common-mode design. Prior to missile launch, the height-fixing device is powered on, and it undergoes self-check and height presetting via the communication interface. After the missile is launched, the radio frequency (RF) module is activated, and a gate is set in accordance with the preset height. When the preset height is reached, the device outputs height-fixing command information and telemetry data. The MDG-300 height-fixing device features mature technology: its pulse compression technology can enhance the altimeter’s height measurement performance, and it has the characteristic of a wide height measurement range. Additionally, the digital pulse compression function based on FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) endows it with advantages such as small size, low power consumption, and low cost.

The MY-3001 series altimeters include models such as MY-3001A, MY-3001B, MY-3001C, MY-3001D, MY-3001E, MY-3001F, MY-3001G, and MY-3001H; as China’s smallest and lightest full-function radio altimeters that meet aerospace standards, they serve as key components for longitudinal height channel control and can be widely used in cruise missiles and UAVs to measure altitude relative to the sea or ground. The MY-3001 series altimeters adopt linear modulation coefficient technology adaptive to altitude changes and echo signal narrow-band receiving technology to enhance the product’s resistance to active interference, use coherent local oscillator mixing to achieve superior performance in resisting co-frequency asynchronous interference, employ echo signal spectrum front detection technology to improve tracking accuracy, and follow the three design principles of serialization, standardization, and modularization to enable high-speed production; additionally, built on a closed-loop tracking system, they integrate digital control technology, microwave integration technology, and hybrid integration technology to realize ultra-miniaturization of the product. As China’s first full-function radio altimeter, the series is known as the "high-speed rail ticket" in the industry.
