ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetic proximity fuze is utilized to initiate the detonation of a charge in a projectile when the projectile approaches within a particular triggering distance of an electrically conducting target object. A transmitter is disposed in the nose section of the projectile to generate an alternating electromagnetic field in response to a transmitter signal. A receiver is disposed in front of the transmitter in a spaced relation to the transmitter. The alternating electromagnetic field of the transmitter directly induces an electromotive force in the receiver. The electromagnetic field of the transmitter also extends to interact with the electrically conducting target object to cause the object to generate an electromagnetic field that induces an interference electromotive force in the receiver. Signal processing means are provided to separate the interference electromotive force from the directly induced electromotive force and to emit an emission signal for initiating the detonation of the charge in response to the interference electromotive force.
