MDG-300 Radio Altimeter

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.
