STAND FOR TESTING SENSITIVITY IMPACT OF RADIO PROXIMITY SENSORS

Abstract

The basic parameters of a radio proximity sensor include its sensitivity to single (one-time) impacts with different values. Single impacts are both a desirable parameter used for example to trigger the power source during a projectile shot and very undesirable in sense of safety reason for instance in the case of a fall of a projectile with a sensor on a hard surface. The paper presents a description of the measurement stand and the method of its calibration necessary to correctly execute one-time impacts of specific values during research of radio proximity sensors used in artillery projectiles.
