Abstract

Quad-element detector is a key sensor of the third generation infrared seeker. In order to implement effective jamming to the seeker, this paper firstly discusses the detection mechanism, and secondly proposes the interference strategy which disturbs the auto gain control (AGC) circuit working. The jamming process is then simulated and analyzed. Finally, the average effective jamming ratio is acquired by Monte Carlo method when frequency difference exists, or duty cycle varies, or phase changes on jamming laser. The simulation conclusions are as follows: at the same or multiple frequency with the seeker and 0.25 duty cycle, high power jamming laser can lead the AGC circuit working abnormal; moreover, adjusting the pulse laser phase can influence the jamming effect and destroy the signal extraction logic, finally, the deception is achieved. The analysis and results of this paper are of theoretical significance for the development of laser directional infrared countermeasure system. © 2018, Editorial Board, Journal of Applied Optics.
