ABSTRACT:
Van Atta array is used to receive a millimeter wave beam from a beam transmitter located in a missile in flight and retransmit the beam back to its source along its original optical path after the beam is phase conjugated and modulated at a tracking station by imparting to it missile guidance information. The missile extracts guidance information from the retransmitted beam and guides its trajectory closer to the course leading to the target.
