MAST-09 Radio Altimeter Detection Unit

The MY-919 radio altimeter is a new-generation altitude-measuring radar system designed for a specific type of aircraft; as a miniaturized, full-function radio altimeter that complies with avionics standards, it serves as a key component for the control of an aircraft’s longitudinal altitude channel and can be widely applied in large aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A radio altimeter based on a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FM CW) closed-loop tracking servo control measurement system, the MY-919 adopts linear modulation coefficients adaptive to altitude changes and narrow-band reception of echo signals, granting the product strong resistance to active interference; it uses coherent mixing reception, which delivers superior performance in resisting co-frequency asynchronous interference and ensures the product has good electromagnetic compatibility; it employs echo signal spectrum front detection technology, enabling the product to maintain high precision in tracking and measurement; it follows serialization, standardization, and modularization design principles, resulting in good product inheritance; and it integrates digital frequency-domain processing and control, microwave integration technology, and hybrid integration technology, making the product stable in performance, mature, and reliable.

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.

The MASS-15 Continuous Echo Simulation Excitation System of Radio Altimeter is a specialized testing equipment designed to support the performance verification, calibration, and development of radio altimeters. It focuses on generating stable, continuous echo signals that accurately replicate real-world altitude-related signal environments—including varying echo amplitudes, frequency characteristics, and delay parameters corresponding to different flight altitudes and terrain conditions. By providing these realistic simulated excitation signals, the system enables radio altimeters to operate under controlled laboratory conditions, allowing engineers to test key functions such as height measurement accuracy, continuous tracking stability, and anti-interference capability. Its reliable continuous echo simulation function not only replaces the need for complex and costly field tests but also ensures consistent, repeatable test results, making it an essential tool for ensuring the reliability and performance of radio altimeters in practical aviation applications.

The MY-3001D radio altimeter incorporates two key technologies: a linear modulation coefficient technology that adapts to altitude changes and a narrow-band receiving technology for echo signals, both of which effectively enhance the product’s resistance to active interference. It also adopts coherent local oscillator mixing, granting it superior performance in resisting co-frequency asynchronous interference, and employs echo signal spectrum front-edge detection technology to boost tracking accuracy. In terms of design, the altimeter follows the principles of serialization, standardization, and modularization. While retaining its closed-loop tracking system, it further integrates digital control technology, microwave integration technology, and hybrid integration technology to achieve product modularization. Additionally, it is equipped with a silent function, which further improves the product’s anti-interference capability. This radio altimeter is applicable to cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for measuring the altitude relative to the sea surface or the ground.
