ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a radioaltimeter type detector comprising an oscillator-transmitter (10), a modulator (20) suitable for frequency modulating the oscillator-transmitter according to a given characteristic, a mixer receiving the signal from the oscillator-transmitter and a corresponding echo signal reflected by a target, and a discriminator circuit (50, 60) connected to the output from the mixer. According to the invention, the modulator (20) includes a digital memory (21) containing a series of values defining the frequency modulation characteristic of the oscillator-transmitter (10).
