A desired range is selected prior to firing the projectile carrying the remote set fuze and after firing a Doppler radar provides Doppler pulses proportional to the relative velocity of the projectile. Constant frequency pulses are counted during a predetermined number of the Doppler pulses to provide an indication of the actual velocity of the projectile and the preselected range-to-function is achieved by means of a time-to-function adjustment to compensate for differences between the actual velocity and a predicted velocity. The adjusted time-to-function is transmitted to the remote set fuze in a coded form.

A method and device for bandpass filter demodulation for FM-CW systems which includes providing a FM-CW signal to an input of a bandpass demodulator, amplifying the FM-CW signal, timing the bandpass demodulator at an integer multiple of the FM-CW signal frequency, and simultaneously demodulating/filtering the FM-CW signal to produce a signal in baseband containing suppressed carrier-Doppler sideband information from the FM-CW signal. The demodulating/filtering functions are performed in an appropriately biased and clocked switched capacitive filter.

A power-on reset circuit in which a first CMOS inverter drives a second CMOS inverter to turn on a third and fourth CMOS inverter. A reset pulse results at the output of the fourth inverter while the third inverter holds a first MOSFET in an off condition and a capacitor is charged through a resistive network comprised of two MOSFETs. When the capacitor is charged past the switching point of the first inverter, the POR pulse is terminated and the first MOSFET is turned on, allowing the capacitor to be charged to the point that no static current flows through the reset circuit because no static current flows through the first inverter.

A system for detecting the approach of a vehicle toward the line of sight an antenna comprises an alerter for receiving an acoustic noise signal from the vehicle and determining whether the signal is increasing or decreasing. The increase of a noise signal indicates the approach of a vehicle and is used to activate a power supply to supply power to a digital signal processor. The digital signal processor receives the acoustic signal and performs a comparison to determine whether the signal in fact is noise produced by a vehicle. If so, the digital signal processor activates a radar based primary sensor which more accurately detects the approach of the vehicle and determines the instant at which the vehicle passes an antanna of the sensor. When the vehicle passes the antenna, the digital processor receives data and produces an output signal that can be used to activate a counter to count the passage of vehicles, surveillance equipment or to fuse a mine if the vehicle is assumed to be hostile. Any time during detection of the acoustical signal, if the alerter determines that the signal's amplitude is falling off, this indicates the vehicle is moving away and this is utilized to disconnect power to the digital processor and to the sensor.
