Equation 3.9-5<br />

The LF Euler angle and angular rate demands pass through a signed 16 bit<br />

digital interface where they are subject to range limiting of ± 60° and<br />

± 600°/s respectively, and a one-cycle transmission delay,<br />

Equation 3.9-6<br />

The gimbal demand interface errors are invoked by setting bits 27-30 of<br />

MS_SK_ER from Table 3-6. The additional functions listed in Table 3-17<br />

are controlled by spare bits in MS_SK_ER.<br />

Gimbal travel is designed for front hemisphere coverage, however, radome<br />

quality, squint losses and other mechanical constraints limit the practical<br />

off-boresight angle. YP demands require the application of an off-boresight<br />

limit of 85° as a consequence of Equation 3.9-4,<br />

Equation 3.9-7<br />

The angular rate limit matching the controller gain and the motor current<br />

limit used later is ± 1440°/s assuming a perfect motor and gimbals.<br />

Fortunately, it is rare that the full angular rate of the seeker is required, and<br />

a lesser value is often substituted commensurate with the turning capability<br />

of the missile and target. As the gimbal demand interface provides angle<br />

and angular rate limits, separate limits inside the seeker are not necessary.<br />

3.9.4 Seeker Gimbal Demand Processing<br />

If bit 11 of MS_SK_ER is set, HF gimbal demands are obtained at the seeker<br />

gimbal frequency (SKfGR) of 2 kHz (clock 4) using an FOH,
