MDG-200 Radio Altimeter

The MDG-200 radio height-setting device operates in the C-band and adopts a monopulse working system. Its sensitive component is of the heterodyne type, and the circulator at the antenna terminal uses a transceiver common-mode configuration. Prior to missile launch, the height-setting device needs to be powered on; it then performs a self-check and completes height setting via the communication interface. After the missile is launched, the radio frequency (RF) module is activated, and a gate is set based on the preconfigured height. When the preset height is reached, the device outputs height-setting command information and telemetry data. The MDG-200 height-setting device features mature technology: the monopulse design enhances the altimeter’s height measurement performance, and the device also has the characteristic of not being affected by the carrier’s speed.

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.

Subminiature Radio Altimeter MY-70A

The MY-70A radio altimeter is a solid-state C-band radio altimeter system based on frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technology, featuring constant beat frequency and closed-loop tracking measurement. It maintains a constant beat frequency by servo-controlling the slope of the sawtooth wave that modulates the microwave oscillator, thereby achieving automatic altitude tracking. Under the condition of a constant beat frequency, the measured altitude is proportional to the modulation period; thus, altitude information can be acquired by measuring the modulation period, and the system then converts this information into an altitude voltage for output. The MY-70A altimeter boasts excellent anti-jamming performance, thanks to its adoption of a narrow-band receiver (with gain adjustable according to altitude), as well as technologies including equivalent spectrum front-end detection, weighted frequency identification, and automatic servo tracking. Additionally, the altimeter’s high-frequency components are implemented with microwave integration, while its low-frequency components utilize a modular design—these measures collectively enhance the product’s reliability, anti-interference capability, and electromagnetic compatibility.
