The MMK-4 altimeter is a full-function radio altimeter that meets aerospace standards; serving as a key component for longitudinal altitude channel control, it can be widely applied in cruise missiles and aircraft to measure altitude relative to the sea or ground. The MMK-4 adopts linear modulation coefficient technology adaptive to height changes and echo signal narrow-band receiving technology to enhance the product’s resistance to active interference, uses coherent local oscillator mixing to achieve superior performance in resisting co-frequency asynchronous interference, employs echo signal spectrum front detection technology to improve tracking accuracy, and follows the design principles of serialization, standardization, and modularization—endowing it with good product inheritance, maturity, and reliability.

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 MDG-100 radio altimeter operates in the C-band and adopts a pulse Doppler working system. Its sensitive device is of the heterodyne type, and the circulator at the antenna terminal uses a transceiver common-mode design. With mature technology, this altimeter is installed on missiles and serves as a control component for altitude fuzes. It features capabilities such as high burst altitude, strong adaptability to high falling speeds, and excellent performance in resisting ground clutter and sea clutter. Additionally, it employs pseudo-random pulse modulation technology: the pulse period varies randomly within a specified range, making it difficult for jammers to identify the initial modulation pulse of the fuze signal and further predict the delayed pulse. This design effectively enhances the altimeter’s resistance to active interference.

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.
