Abstract
This chapter considers the case of a hypothetical, but realistic, medium-range air-to-air missile using a fully active pulse Doppler radar seeker for terminal phase guidance. To scope this application, this chapter starts with a short overview of guided weapons system employing radar-based seekers followed by a brief discussion on the interaction between the seeker and other aspects of the guided weapon that influence the seeker design.
