Abstract

Ce dispositif de traitement proportionnel permet d'utiliser une gamme dynamique instantanée étendue et d'obtenir une augmentation de la dynamique instantanée plus importante qu'à l'aide des procédés de traitement proportionnel actuellement connus. Ces améliorations proviennent de l'utilisation d'un amplificateur logarithmique 30 incorporé à chacun de deux canaux associés à un meme plan d'exploration. Chaque amplificateur logarithmique 30 est de préférence conçu de façon à fonctionner à peu près au centre de sa caractéristique de fonctionnement, et les deux canaux peuvent être associés à deux autres canaux afin de permettre la production de signaux de commande de guidage appropriés pouvant être appliqués, par exemple, à un missile.This proportional processing device makes it possible to use an extended instantaneous dynamic range and to obtain an increase in the instantaneous dynamic which is greater than with the aid of currently known proportional processing methods. These improvements come from the use of a logarithmic amplifier 30 incorporated into each of two channels associated with a same exploration plan. Each logarithmic amplifier 30 is preferably designed to operate at approximately the center of its operating characteristic, and the two channels may be combined with two other channels to allow the production of appropriate guiding control signals that can be applied. for example, to a missile.
