Abstract
According to the detection mechanism of the missile guidance photoelectric detection system, combining the distribution
function of the imaging spot of laser reflected by target surface, the experimental illuminance and the size of the
photosensitive surface of photoelectric receiving detector, we study the illuminance distribution characteristics of the target
imaging spot and set up the calculation model of illuminance distribution. Based on this model, we establish the output
voltage signal function of the missile guidance laser photoelectric detection system, and then derive the calculation model of
the signal-to-noise ratio of the system using the experimental illuminance, the thermal noise and the target radiation photon
noise. Through experimental test and analysis, the results show that the target imaging spot energy at different detection
distances is different, which makes the peak of the output voltage signal of the system significantly different. At the same time,
with the increase of the detection distance, the laser echo energy decreases, and the peak of the output voltage signal of the
system also decreases. In addition, we verify the illuminance distribution of target imaging spot under different detection
distances.
