This study analyzes the effects of disturbance rejection and radome error on the stability of guidance systems First disturbancerejection rate transfer function (DRRTF) models are established Second the Lyapunov stability of a proportional navigationguidance system is proposed The passivity theorems are introduced for the analysis of the Lyapunov stability of the nonlineartime-varying system Finally the influence of the different DRRTF models on the stability of the guidance system is analyzed bymathematical simulations The simulation results indicate that the stable boundary of the guidance system varies and its toleranceto disturbance differs significantly for various disturbance torque types and radome slope
1 Introduction
The stabilized platform of a gimbaled seeker isolates thebody motion caused by missile maneuvering and vibrationduring flight However the isolation is incomplete due towirepulling inside the seeker and friction among componentsConsequently missile disturbance coupling enters the seekerthereby affecting the accuracy of the seeker output [1ndash3]and leading to the disturbance rejection effect The seekerdisturbance rejection effect then forms a parasitic loopwithinthe missile guidance loop that is the disturbance rejectionrate parasitic loop (DRRPL)
Radomes are attached to the nose of radar homingmissiles The refraction of the electromagnetic wave by theradome causes an error in the line-of-sight (LOS) angle thatis the radome refraction angle which also creates a parasiticloop with the guidance homing loop In certain situationsthe disturbance rejection and radome error act to reduce thestability of the guidance system and cause an increase in missdistance [4ndash7]
Several stability analysis approaches for guidance systemshave been suggested in the literature
(1) The first and most commonly used approach isbased on the ldquofrozen timerdquo assumption transforming the
guidance system into a time-invariant system and analyzingthe stability by the Routh criterion [8ndash11] However whenthe distance between the missile and the target is shortor the dynamics of the guidance system are relatively fastthe ldquofrozen timerdquo assumption is no longer valid Moreoverapplying the Routh criterion to analyze the stability generatesa large error
(2) The second approach assumes that the terminal guid-ance time is infinite and uses the stability analysis method oftime-varying systems on the basis of infinite time such as thePopov and circle criteria [4 12 13] These stability conditionsare defined over an infinite-horizon time domain and thusare not suitable for the stability analysis of a homing guidanceloop which is only defined over a finite time interval
(3) The third approach analyzes stability by using thefinite time stability theory of time-varying systems [14ndash17]This approach is practical in real engagement
This study evaluates the Lyapunov stability over a finitetime interval on the basis of the linearized model of theproportional navigation (PN) guidance system The distur-bance rejection rate is the transfer function which representsthe incorrect angular rate caused by an attitude disturbanceapplied to the missilersquos body [18] Therefore this study

LOS error angle From geometry the detector error angle canbe written as follows
120576 = 119902119905 minus 119902119904 (1)Figure 2 presents a typical control loop model of a
gimbaled seekerIn Figure 2 119871 is the inductance of armature winding
119877 denotes the total resistance 119870119879 represents the torqueconstant 119870119864 stands for the back electromotive force (EMF)119879119890119898(119905) refers to the electromagnetic torque 119879119863 signifies thetotal load torque of the motor and load 119869 indicates thetotal motor rotational inertia and 119902 symbolizes the LOS raterequired for guidance
Figure 2 shows that the model mainly includes the sta-bilized tracking disturbance torque and back EMF loopsThe disturbance torque loop is caused by wire pulling andfriction among rotation joints which happens in the seekerrotation process In Figure 2 various types of disturbancetorque are equivalent to the transfer function 119866119863(119904) Thedisturbance torque is the main factor leading to problems ofthe disturbance rejection rate of the gimbaled seeker includ-ing the spring and damping torques A real gimbaled seekerdisturbance torque is a nonlinear model A simplified modelis adopted to analyze the influence of disturbance torque onseeker disturbance rejection rate and output accuracy Theexpression is as follows [22]

where 119870119899 is the spring torque coefficient and 119870120596 denotes thedamping torque coefficient
The occurrence of the disturbance torque couples themissile and seeker motions thereby causing DRRPL andreducing the accuracy of seeker control The DRRTF 119877(119904) isdefined as follows
119877 (119904) =Δ 119902 (119904)120599 (119904)
(3)
where Δ 119902(119904) is the additional rotation angular rate of theplatform caused by the missile motion in relation to theinertial space From the definition the smaller the amplitudeof 119877(119904) the stronger the seekerrsquos isolation capability to thedisturbance of the missile
In accordance with Figure 2 assuming 119867(119904) = 1 andignoring the effect of back EMF the seeker DRRTF can beeduced as
119877 (119904) =Δ 119902 (119904)120599 (119904)
= 119904119866119863 (119904) (119871119904 + 119877)119904 [119869119904 (119871119904 + 119877) + 119866119863 (119904) (119871119904 + 119877) + 1198662 (119904) 1198962119870119879] + 1198661 (119904) 1198662 (119904) 11989611198962119870119879

With the damping torque 119866119863(119904) = 119870120596 and spring torque119866119863(119904) = 119870119899119904models substituted into (4) theDRRTFmodels

119877V (119904) =Δ 119902V (119904)120599 (119904)
= 119904119870120596 (119871119904 + 119877)119904 [119869119904 (119871119904 + 119877) + 119870120596 (119871119904 + 119877) + 1198662 (119904) 1198962119870119879] + 1198661 (119904) 1198662 (119904) 11989611198962119870119879

22 Radome Parasitic Effects in a Stabilized Seeker Theexistence of radome affects the seeker measurement on thereal target position Figure 3 shows the basic missilendashtargetgeometry under the existence of the radome error
In Figure 3 Δ119902 denotes the radome refraction angle 120576lowastis the error angle between the seeker centerline and apparentLOS and 119902lowast represents the apparent LOS angle caused by theradome error
The refraction angle Δ119902 varies with the seeker gimbalangle 120593119903 For preliminary analysis the refraction angle isassumed to be linearly proportional to the gimbal angle
Δ119902 = 119877119889119900119898120593119903 (7)
where119877119889119900119898 is the radome slope 119877119889119900119898 is generally regarded asa constant despite being variable during flight [23 24]
In accordance with the angular relationships in Figure 3119902lowast can be expressed as follows
119902lowast = 119902119905 + (119902119904 minus 120599) 119877119889119900119898 (8)
Considering a stable seeker tracking 120576 is generally a smallparameterThus 119902119904 asymp 119902119905Then (8) can be rewritten as follows
119902lowast cong 119902119905 + (119902119905 minus 120599) 119877119889119900119898 = 119902119905 (1 + 119877) minus 120599119877119889119900119898 (9)
Generally speaking 119877119889119900119898 ≪ 1 Hence (9) can be simpli-fied into
119902lowast = 119902119905 minus 120599119877119889119900119898 (10)
Equation (10) shows thatmissile attitude is fed back to theseeker due to the existence of radome error thereby generat-ing a measurement error of 119902119905 Consequently a radome errorparasitic loop is formed in the guidance loop
The influence of the correction network on DRRTFcharacteristics fluctuates on a small scale within the commonoperating frequencies of the seeker (less than 5Hz) therebyfailing to transform its basic amplitude-phase characteristicsTherefore the analysismodel of the disturbance rejection ratecan be simplified to demonstrate intuitively its influence onthe guidance and control system Ignoring the impact of timedelay process the correction network effect of back EMFhigh-frequency dynamics and small quantity and assuming1198661(119904) = 1 1198662(119904) = 1 119877 asymp 1 and 119871 asymp 0 the equivalent gainof the stabilized loop is determined to be 1198702 = 11986621198962119870119879119869In addition the equivalent gain of the tracking loop is 1198701 =11986611198961 Figure 4 presents the educed seekermodel with radomeeffects

system In this study passivity theorems are used to analyzethe Lyapunov stability of the equilibrium point of the systemWhen studying the Lyapunov stability we consider the caseof zero input Let the reference input 119886119905 in Figure 6 be zeroand the guidance system is considered as follows
= 119891 (119905 119909) (12)
If
119891 (119905 0) = 0 forall119905 ge 0 (13)
then the origin is the equilibrium point of (12) at 119905 = 0 Theequilibrium point 119909 = 0 of the system (12) is
(i) uniformly stable if each 120585 gt 0 has 120575 = 120575(120585) gt 0independent of 1199050 such that

(ii) uniformly asymptotically stable if it is uniformlystable and has a positive constant 119888 independent of 1199050such that for all 119909(1199050) lt 119888 119909(119905) rarr 0 as 119905 rarr infinuniformly in 1199050 that is for each 120578 gt 0 119879 = 119879(120578) gt 0is observed such that

Therefore if the guidance system is uniformly asymp-totically stable at some initial moment 1199050 then the systemhas Lyapunov stability at all 1199050 in the defined interval andthe convergence of the system will not deteriorate with anincrease in 1199050
32 Lyapunov Stability Represented by Passivity TheoremsPassivity theorems involve the concepts of passivity andpositive real The definitions of passivity and positive real areprovided in the following Proof of the relevant lemma andtheorem is presented in [19]
321 Passivity of a Time-Varying Memoryless FunctionWhen the output of the system is independent of the statevariables the system can be expressed as 119910 = ℎ(119905 119906) that isa memoryless function If ℎ is a scalar function that satisfiesthe inequality

Lemma 1 provides the relationship between positive realand passivity properties
Lemma 1 The linear time-invariant minimal realization = 119860119909 + 119861119906

323 Passivity Theorems Consider the feedback connectionof Figure 7 where 119866(119904) is a time-invariant dynamical systemandℎ(119905 119906) is a time-varyingmemoryless functionTheorem 2presents the method of analyzing the Lyapunov stability offeedback systems this method uses the passivity propertiesof the feedback components
Theorem 2 Consider the feedback connection of a strictlypassive time-invariant dynamical system 119866(119904) with a passivetime-varying memoryless function ℎ(119905 119906) Then the origin ofthe closed-loop system is uniformly asymptotically stable
Furthermore if 119866(119904) is a strictly positive real transferfunction (from Lemma 1) then the dynamical system isstrictly passive According to Theorem 2 the origin of theclosed-loop system is uniformly asymptotically stable
324 Loop Transformations When 119866(119904) or ℎ(119905 119906) does notsatisfy the conditions of Theorem 2 the feedback systemcan be transformed into an equivalent feedback systemwhich satisfies the conditions through loop transformationsSuppose119866(119904) is a time-invariant dynamical system and ℎ(119905 119906)is a time-varying memoryless function that belongs to thesector [120572 120573] Then the feedback system can be reconfiguredinto a feedback system that is connected by 119866(119904) and ℎ(119905 119906)through loop transformations as shown in Figure 8 whereℎ(119905 119906) is a memoryless function that belongs to the sector[0infin] We can now apply Theorem 2 if 119866(119904) satisfies theconditions of the respective theorem In this case the systemsshown in Figures 7 8(a) and 8(b) are equivalent in terms ofstability

=119904 [(1199045 + 1)4 minus 119873 (119881119888119881119898) 119877 (119904) (119879120572119904 + 1)] + 119873 (119879119865 minus 119905119896)
119904 [(1199045 + 1)4 minus 119873 (119881119888119881119898) 119877 (119904) (119879120572119904 + 1)] + 119873119879119865(20)
In accordance with Theorem 2 if 119866(119904) is strictly positivereal then the feedback system satisfies the Lyapunov stabilitycondition that is the origin of the original PN guidancesystem is uniformly asymptotically stable over the 119905 isin [0 119905119896]interval The following are three conditions for 119866(119904) to bestrictly positive real
(i) Substituting theDRRTF inTable 1 into (14) shows that119866(infin) = 1 gt 0 for each DRRTF Therefore the firstcondition is satisfied
(ii) Expanding the characteristic equation of119866(119904) into thefollowing form
119886119899119904119899 + 119886119899minus1119904
119899minus1 + sdot sdot sdot + 11988621199042 + 1198861119904
1 + 1198860 = 0 (21)
Then for the second condition the Routh criterion can beused to obtain the constraint inequality that the eigenvaluesare all on the open left-half complex plane
(iii) The third condition holds when the Nyquist plot of119866(j120596) lies in the closed right-half complex plane
The previous analysis shows that the parameters thataffect the stability of the PN guidance system include 119873119881119888119881119898 119879120572 119879119865 119905119896 and 119877(119904)
5 Simulations and Analysis
This section analyzes the influence of different DRRTFmodels caused by disturbance torque and radome error onthe stability of the guidance system through simulationsThetypical PN guidance system parameters (119873 = 4119881119888119881119898 = 15119879120572 = 3 119879119865 = 10 and 119879119892 = 05) equivalent gains (1198701 = 101198702 = 10) and disturbance torque coefficients (119870119899 = 0001119870120596 = 0001) are selected In accordance with the Routhcriterion the second condition under the abovementionedparameters is satisfied To examine the third condition take119870119903 equal tominus003 and 003 respectively and theNyquist plotsof119866(j120596) corresponding to different DRRTFmodels and 119905119896 arepresented in Figure 9
Figure 9 illustrates that the critical stability time 119905119896119888for different DRRTF models is different under the sameconditions Regardless of the disturbance torque type thecritical stability time of the system when 119870119903 = 003 is greaterthan that when 119870119903 = minus003 Therefore when 119870119903 = minus003 theconstraint on the terminal guidance time when the guidancesystem satisfies the Lyapunov stability conditions is stricterthan that when 119870119903 = 003

Figure 10 Stable boundary corresponding to different 119879119865
Figure 10 illustrates that different 119879119865 have little effect onthe unstable flight time of the guidance system The time ofinstability can be delayed by extending the terminal guidancetime Under the action of spring torque the unstable flighttime 119905119906119899119904 increases rapidly with the increase of 119870119904 When 119870119904increases to a certain value the guidance system cannot meetthe stability conditions during the entire terminal guidancetime Moreover when 119870119903 = minus003 the unstable flight time ishigher and the stability regions are smaller than those when119870119903 = 003 The change law of the stable boundary of theguidance system under the action of the damping momentis similar to that of the spring torque Only when 119870119903 = 003
the unstable flight time decreases slightly and then increasesrapidly with the increase of119870V
Figure 11 shows the uniformly asymptotically stableboundary of the system determined by 119870119903 and 119905119906119899119904 underdifferent disturbances when 119879119865 = 10
Figure 11 illustrates that when 119870119903 lt 0 the unstable flighttime is considerably larger than that when 119870119903 gt 0 andincreases sharply with the increase of |119870119903| When 119870119903 lt 0the tolerance of the guidance system to the radome erroris approximately 3 which is less than that when 119870119903 gt 0(higher than 8) When 119870119903 gt 0 the unstable flight timedecreases slowly as |119870119903| increases which is beneficial to

the guidance system However when |119870119903| exceeds a certainlimit the guidance system immediately becomes unstableindicating that the tolerance of the guidance system to theradome error is also limited
Figure 12 presents the uniformly asymptotically stableboundary of the systemdetermined by119879120572 and119870119904 or119870V underdifferent119870119903 when 119879119865 = 10 and 119905119906119899119904 = 7
Figure 12 shows that the stability regions of the guidancesystem decrease with the increase of 119879120572 119879120572 is related to thealtitude of the missilersquos flight and 119879120572 is relatively large at highaltitude If 119879119892 is small then the guidance system will likelylose stability when the missile is flying at a high altitudeTherefore the decelerating response of the guidance systemin high airspace should be given considerable attention
Moreover under the action of spring torque the stabilityregions when 119870119903 lt 0 are smaller and the stability regionswhen 119870119903 gt 0 are larger than that when 119870119903 = 0 Under theaction of damping torque positive and negative 119870119903 lead to astability regions reduction When 119870119903 decreases to a certainvalue and 119879120572 is large the guidance system will not be stableTherefore the disturbance rejection rate index should bestrictly constrained in engineering practice
From the above analysis the stability regions for anegative slope are smaller than that for a positive slope andlager values of 119879120572 lead to a smaller range of stability Thesetrends are consistent with those obtained in [8] using theRouth criterion However there will be differences in thestability margin

6 Conclusions
The influence of the disturbance rejection rate and radomeerror slope on the Lyapunov stability of the PN guidancesystem is analyzed by passivity theorems Results of thesimulation show that different DRRTF models have differenteffects on the stability of the guidance system The stableboundary and tolerance of the PN guidance system to thespring torque damping torque and radome slope differsignificantly The unstable flight time caused by negativeradome slope is higher than that due to positive radomeslopeThe constraint of disturbance rejection rate indexwhenthe radome slope is negative and is stricter than that whenradome slope is positive These results provide a theoreticalbasis for the overall design and engineering application ofguidance systems and radar seekers

This paper is structured as follows Section 2 establishesthe DRRTF and PN guidance systemmodels which considerthe different disturbance torque types and radome errorslope Section 3 defines the uniform asymptotical stabilityof the PN guidance system and introduces the Lyapunovstability represented by passivity theorems Section 4 ana-lyzes the stability of the PN guidance system on the basisof passivity theorems Section 5 investigates the influence ofspring torque damping torque and radome error slope on theLyapunov stability of the PN guidance system by simulationsSection 6 concludes this paper

LOS error angle From geometry the detector error angle canbe written as follows
120576 = 119902119905 minus 119902119904 (1)Figure 2 presents a typical control loop model of a

Figure 2 shows that the model mainly includes the sta-bilized tracking disturbance torque and back EMF loopsThe disturbance torque loop is caused by wire pulling andfriction among rotation joints which happens in the seekerrotation process In Figure 2 various types of disturbancetorque are equivalent to the transfer function 119866119863(119904) Thedisturbance torque is the main factor leading to problems ofthe disturbance rejection rate of the gimbaled seeker includ-ing the spring and damping torques A real gimbaled seekerdisturbance torque is a nonlinear model A simplified modelis adopted to analyze the influence of disturbance torque onseeker disturbance rejection rate and output accuracy Theexpression is as follows [22]

where 119870119899 is the spring torque coefficient and 119870120596 denotes thedamping torque coefficient
The occurrence of the disturbance torque couples themissile and seeker motions thereby causing DRRPL andreducing the accuracy of seeker control The DRRTF 119877(119904) isdefined as follows
119877 (119904) =Δ 119902 (119904)120599 (119904)

where Δ 119902(119904) is the additional rotation angular rate of theplatform caused by the missile motion in relation to theinertial space From the definition the smaller the amplitudeof 119877(119904) the stronger the seekerrsquos isolation capability to thedisturbance of the missile
In accordance with Figure 2 assuming 119867(119904) = 1 andignoring the effect of back EMF the seeker DRRTF can beeduced as
119877 (119904) =Δ 119902 (119904)120599 (119904)
= 119904119866119863 (119904) (119871119904 + 119877)119904 [119869119904 (119871119904 + 119877) + 119866119863 (119904) (119871119904 + 119877) + 1198662 (119904) 1198962119870119879] + 1198661 (119904) 1198662 (119904) 11989611198962119870119879

22 Radome Parasitic Effects in a Stabilized Seeker Theexistence of radome affects the seeker measurement on thereal target position Figure 3 shows the basic missilendashtargetgeometry under the existence of the radome error
In Figure 3 Δ119902 denotes the radome refraction angle 120576lowastis the error angle between the seeker centerline and apparentLOS and 119902lowast represents the apparent LOS angle caused by theradome error
The refraction angle Δ119902 varies with the seeker gimbalangle 120593119903 For preliminary analysis the refraction angle isassumed to be linearly proportional to the gimbal angle

In accordance with the angular relationships in Figure 3119902lowast can be expressed as follows
119902lowast = 119902119905 + (119902119904 minus 120599) 119877119889119900119898 (8)
Considering a stable seeker tracking 120576 is generally a smallparameterThus 119902119904 asymp 119902119905Then (8) can be rewritten as follows
119902lowast cong 119902119905 + (119902119905 minus 120599) 119877119889119900119898 = 119902119905 (1 + 119877) minus 120599119877119889119900119898 (9)
Generally speaking 119877119889119900119898 ≪ 1 Hence (9) can be simpli-fied into
119902lowast = 119902119905 minus 120599119877119889119900119898 (10)
Equation (10) shows thatmissile attitude is fed back to theseeker due to the existence of radome error thereby generat-ing a measurement error of 119902119905 Consequently a radome errorparasitic loop is formed in the guidance loop
The influence of the correction network on DRRTFcharacteristics fluctuates on a small scale within the commonoperating frequencies of the seeker (less than 5Hz) therebyfailing to transform its basic amplitude-phase characteristicsTherefore the analysismodel of the disturbance rejection ratecan be simplified to demonstrate intuitively its influence onthe guidance and control system Ignoring the impact of timedelay process the correction network effect of back EMFhigh-frequency dynamics and small quantity and assuming1198661(119904) = 1 1198662(119904) = 1 119877 asymp 1 and 119871 asymp 0 the equivalent gainof the stabilized loop is determined to be 1198702 = 11986621198962119870119879119869In addition the equivalent gain of the tracking loop is 1198701 =11986611198961 Figure 4 presents the educed seekermodel with radomeeffects

system In this study passivity theorems are used to analyzethe Lyapunov stability of the equilibrium point of the systemWhen studying the Lyapunov stability we consider the caseof zero input Let the reference input 119886119905 in Figure 6 be zeroand the guidance system is considered as follows
= 119891 (119905 119909) (12)
If
119891 (119905 0) = 0 forall119905 ge 0 (13)
then the origin is the equilibrium point of (12) at 119905 = 0 Theequilibrium point 119909 = 0 of the system (12) is
(i) uniformly stable if each 120585 gt 0 has 120575 = 120575(120585) gt 0independent of 1199050 such that

(ii) uniformly asymptotically stable if it is uniformlystable and has a positive constant 119888 independent of 1199050such that for all 119909(1199050) lt 119888 119909(119905) rarr 0 as 119905 rarr infinuniformly in 1199050 that is for each 120578 gt 0 119879 = 119879(120578) gt 0is observed such that

Therefore if the guidance system is uniformly asymp-totically stable at some initial moment 1199050 then the systemhas Lyapunov stability at all 1199050 in the defined interval andthe convergence of the system will not deteriorate with anincrease in 1199050
32 Lyapunov Stability Represented by Passivity TheoremsPassivity theorems involve the concepts of passivity andpositive real The definitions of passivity and positive real areprovided in the following Proof of the relevant lemma andtheorem is presented in [19]
321 Passivity of a Time-Varying Memoryless FunctionWhen the output of the system is independent of the statevariables the system can be expressed as 119910 = ℎ(119905 119906) that isa memoryless function If ℎ is a scalar function that satisfiesthe inequality

for all (119905 119906) where 120572 and 120573 are real numbers with 120573 ge 120572 thenℎ belongs to the sector [120572 120573] If ℎ(119905 119906) belongs to the sector[0infin] that is 119906ℎ(119905 119906) ge 0 then the system 119910 = ℎ(119905 119906) ispassive If ℎ(119905 119906) belongs to the sector (0infin) then119910 = ℎ(119905 119906)is strictly passive
322 Strictly Positive Real Transfer Functions A single-inputndashsingle-output linear system transfer function 119866(119904) isstrictly positive real function if and only if
(1) 119866(infin) gt 0(2) all poles of 119866(119904) are in Re[119904] lt 0 and(3) Re[119866(j120596)] gt 0 forall120596 gt 0

The second condition requires all poles of 119866(119904) to be in theopen left-half complex plane whereas the third conditionrequires the Nyquist plot of 119866(j120596) to lie in the closed right-half complex plane
Lemma 1 provides the relationship between positive realand passivity properties
Lemma 1 The linear time-invariant minimal realization = 119860119909 + 119861119906
119910 = 119862119909 + 119863119906(17)

323 Passivity Theorems Consider the feedback connectionof Figure 7 where 119866(119904) is a time-invariant dynamical systemandℎ(119905 119906) is a time-varyingmemoryless functionTheorem 2presents the method of analyzing the Lyapunov stability offeedback systems this method uses the passivity propertiesof the feedback components
Theorem 2 Consider the feedback connection of a strictlypassive time-invariant dynamical system 119866(119904) with a passivetime-varying memoryless function ℎ(119905 119906) Then the origin ofthe closed-loop system is uniformly asymptotically stable
Furthermore if 119866(119904) is a strictly positive real transferfunction (from Lemma 1) then the dynamical system isstrictly passive According to Theorem 2 the origin of theclosed-loop system is uniformly asymptotically stable
324 Loop Transformations When 119866(119904) or ℎ(119905 119906) does notsatisfy the conditions of Theorem 2 the feedback systemcan be transformed into an equivalent feedback systemwhich satisfies the conditions through loop transformationsSuppose119866(119904) is a time-invariant dynamical system and ℎ(119905 119906)is a time-varying memoryless function that belongs to thesector [120572 120573] Then the feedback system can be reconfiguredinto a feedback system that is connected by 119866(119904) and ℎ(119905 119906)through loop transformations as shown in Figure 8 whereℎ(119905 119906) is a memoryless function that belongs to the sector[0infin] We can now apply Theorem 2 if 119866(119904) satisfies theconditions of the respective theorem In this case the systemsshown in Figures 7 8(a) and 8(b) are equivalent in terms ofstability

Let 119905119896 be any moment of the terminal guidance Wediscuss the stability of guidance systems in the boundedclosed domain 119905 isin [0 119905119896] Then ℎ(119905 119906) belongs to the sector[1119879119865 1(119879119865 minus 119905119896)] and is not passive With the use of trans-formations to reconfigure the system into the form shownin Figure 8(b) where ℎ(119905 119906) is a time-varying memorylessfunction that belongs to the sector [0infin]119866(119904) is transformedinto119866 (119904)

In accordance with Theorem 2 if 119866(119904) is strictly positivereal then the feedback system satisfies the Lyapunov stabilitycondition that is the origin of the original PN guidancesystem is uniformly asymptotically stable over the 119905 isin [0 119905119896]interval The following are three conditions for 119866(119904) to bestrictly positive real
(i) Substituting theDRRTF inTable 1 into (14) shows that119866(infin) = 1 gt 0 for each DRRTF Therefore the firstcondition is satisfied
(ii) Expanding the characteristic equation of119866(119904) into thefollowing form

(iii) The third condition holds when the Nyquist plot of119866(j120596) lies in the closed right-half complex plane
The previous analysis shows that the parameters thataffect the stability of the PN guidance system include 119873119881119888119881119898 119879120572 119879119865 119905119896 and 119877(119904)

Figure 9 illustrates that the critical stability time 119905119896119888for different DRRTF models is different under the sameconditions Regardless of the disturbance torque type thecritical stability time of the system when 119870119903 = 003 is greaterthan that when 119870119903 = minus003 Therefore when 119870119903 = minus003 theconstraint on the terminal guidance time when the guidancesystem satisfies the Lyapunov stability conditions is stricterthan that when 119870119903 = 003

Figure 10 illustrates that different 119879119865 have little effect onthe unstable flight time of the guidance system The time ofinstability can be delayed by extending the terminal guidancetime Under the action of spring torque the unstable flighttime 119905119906119899119904 increases rapidly with the increase of 119870119904 When 119870119904increases to a certain value the guidance system cannot meetthe stability conditions during the entire terminal guidancetime Moreover when 119870119903 = minus003 the unstable flight time ishigher and the stability regions are smaller than those when119870119903 = 003 The change law of the stable boundary of theguidance system under the action of the damping momentis similar to that of the spring torque Only when 119870119903 = 003
the unstable flight time decreases slightly and then increasesrapidly with the increase of119870V
Figure 11 shows the uniformly asymptotically stableboundary of the system determined by 119870119903 and 119905119906119899119904 underdifferent disturbances when 119879119865 = 10
Figure 11 illustrates that when 119870119903 lt 0 the unstable flighttime is considerably larger than that when 119870119903 gt 0 andincreases sharply with the increase of |119870119903| When 119870119903 lt 0the tolerance of the guidance system to the radome erroris approximately 3 which is less than that when 119870119903 gt 0(higher than 8) When 119870119903 gt 0 the unstable flight timedecreases slowly as |119870119903| increases which is beneficial to

the guidance system However when |119870119903| exceeds a certainlimit the guidance system immediately becomes unstableindicating that the tolerance of the guidance system to theradome error is also limited
Figure 12 presents the uniformly asymptotically stableboundary of the systemdetermined by119879120572 and119870119904 or119870V underdifferent119870119903 when 119879119865 = 10 and 119905119906119899119904 = 7
Figure 12 shows that the stability regions of the guidancesystem decrease with the increase of 119879120572 119879120572 is related to thealtitude of the missilersquos flight and 119879120572 is relatively large at highaltitude If 119879119892 is small then the guidance system will likelylose stability when the missile is flying at a high altitudeTherefore the decelerating response of the guidance systemin high airspace should be given considerable attention
Moreover under the action of spring torque the stabilityregions when 119870119903 lt 0 are smaller and the stability regionswhen 119870119903 gt 0 are larger than that when 119870119903 = 0 Under theaction of damping torque positive and negative 119870119903 lead to astability regions reduction When 119870119903 decreases to a certainvalue and 119879120572 is large the guidance system will not be stableTherefore the disturbance rejection rate index should bestrictly constrained in engineering practice
From the above analysis the stability regions for anegative slope are smaller than that for a positive slope andlager values of 119879120572 lead to a smaller range of stability Thesetrends are consistent with those obtained in [8] using theRouth criterion However there will be differences in thestability margin

6 Conclusions
The influence of the disturbance rejection rate and radomeerror slope on the Lyapunov stability of the PN guidancesystem is analyzed by passivity theorems Results of thesimulation show that different DRRTF models have differenteffects on the stability of the guidance system The stableboundary and tolerance of the PN guidance system to thespring torque damping torque and radome slope differsignificantly The unstable flight time caused by negativeradome slope is higher than that due to positive radomeslopeThe constraint of disturbance rejection rate indexwhenthe radome slope is negative and is stricter than that whenradome slope is positive These results provide a theoreticalbasis for the overall design and engineering application ofguidance systems and radar seekers

where 119870119899 is the spring torque coefficient and 119870120596 denotes thedamping torque coefficient
The occurrence of the disturbance torque couples themissile and seeker motions thereby causing DRRPL andreducing the accuracy of seeker control The DRRTF 119877(119904) isdefined as follows
119877 (119904) =Δ 119902 (119904)120599 (119904)
(3)
where Δ 119902(119904) is the additional rotation angular rate of theplatform caused by the missile motion in relation to theinertial space From the definition the smaller the amplitudeof 119877(119904) the stronger the seekerrsquos isolation capability to thedisturbance of the missile
In accordance with Figure 2 assuming 119867(119904) = 1 andignoring the effect of back EMF the seeker DRRTF can beeduced as
119877 (119904) =Δ 119902 (119904)120599 (119904)

With the damping torque 119866119863(119904) = 119870120596 and spring torque119866119863(119904) = 119870119899119904models substituted into (4) theDRRTFmodels

22 Radome Parasitic Effects in a Stabilized Seeker Theexistence of radome affects the seeker measurement on thereal target position Figure 3 shows the basic missilendashtargetgeometry under the existence of the radome error
In Figure 3 Δ119902 denotes the radome refraction angle 120576lowastis the error angle between the seeker centerline and apparentLOS and 119902lowast represents the apparent LOS angle caused by theradome error
The refraction angle Δ119902 varies with the seeker gimbalangle 120593119903 For preliminary analysis the refraction angle isassumed to be linearly proportional to the gimbal angle
Δ119902 = 119877119889119900119898120593119903 (7)
where119877119889119900119898 is the radome slope 119877119889119900119898 is generally regarded asa constant despite being variable during flight [23 24]
In accordance with the angular relationships in Figure 3119902lowast can be expressed as follows
119902lowast = 119902119905 + (119902119904 minus 120599) 119877119889119900119898 (8)
Considering a stable seeker tracking 120576 is generally a smallparameterThus 119902119904 asymp 119902119905Then (8) can be rewritten as follows
119902lowast cong 119902119905 + (119902119905 minus 120599) 119877119889119900119898 = 119902119905 (1 + 119877) minus 120599119877119889119900119898 (9)
Generally speaking 119877119889119900119898 ≪ 1 Hence (9) can be simpli-fied into
119902lowast = 119902119905 minus 120599119877119889119900119898 (10)
Equation (10) shows thatmissile attitude is fed back to theseeker due to the existence of radome error thereby generat-ing a measurement error of 119902119905 Consequently a radome errorparasitic loop is formed in the guidance loop
The influence of the correction network on DRRTFcharacteristics fluctuates on a small scale within the commonoperating frequencies of the seeker (less than 5Hz) therebyfailing to transform its basic amplitude-phase characteristicsTherefore the analysismodel of the disturbance rejection ratecan be simplified to demonstrate intuitively its influence onthe guidance and control system Ignoring the impact of timedelay process the correction network effect of back EMFhigh-frequency dynamics and small quantity and assuming1198661(119904) = 1 1198662(119904) = 1 119877 asymp 1 and 119871 asymp 0 the equivalent gainof the stabilized loop is determined to be 1198702 = 11986621198962119870119879119869In addition the equivalent gain of the tracking loop is 1198701 =11986611198961 Figure 4 presents the educed seekermodel with radomeeffects

system In this study passivity theorems are used to analyzethe Lyapunov stability of the equilibrium point of the systemWhen studying the Lyapunov stability we consider the caseof zero input Let the reference input 119886119905 in Figure 6 be zeroand the guidance system is considered as follows
= 119891 (119905 119909) (12)
If
119891 (119905 0) = 0 forall119905 ge 0 (13)
then the origin is the equilibrium point of (12) at 119905 = 0 Theequilibrium point 119909 = 0 of the system (12) is
(i) uniformly stable if each 120585 gt 0 has 120575 = 120575(120585) gt 0independent of 1199050 such that
1003817100381710038171003817119909 (1199050)1003817100381710038171003817 lt 120575 997904rArr 119909 (119905) lt 120585 forall119905 ge 1199050 ge 0 and (14)
(ii) uniformly asymptotically stable if it is uniformlystable and has a positive constant 119888 independent of 1199050such that for all 119909(1199050) lt 119888 119909(119905) rarr 0 as 119905 rarr infinuniformly in 1199050 that is for each 120578 gt 0 119879 = 119879(120578) gt 0is observed such that
119909 (119905) lt 120578 forall119905 ge 1199050 + 119879 (120578) forall1003817100381710038171003817119909 (1199050)

Therefore if the guidance system is uniformly asymp-totically stable at some initial moment 1199050 then the systemhas Lyapunov stability at all 1199050 in the defined interval andthe convergence of the system will not deteriorate with anincrease in 1199050
32 Lyapunov Stability Represented by Passivity TheoremsPassivity theorems involve the concepts of passivity andpositive real The definitions of passivity and positive real areprovided in the following Proof of the relevant lemma andtheorem is presented in [19]
321 Passivity of a Time-Varying Memoryless FunctionWhen the output of the system is independent of the statevariables the system can be expressed as 119910 = ℎ(119905 119906) that isa memoryless function If ℎ is a scalar function that satisfiesthe inequality
1205721199062 le 119906ℎ (119905 119906) le 1205731199062 (16)
for all (119905 119906) where 120572 and 120573 are real numbers with 120573 ge 120572 thenℎ belongs to the sector [120572 120573] If ℎ(119905 119906) belongs to the sector[0infin] that is 119906ℎ(119905 119906) ge 0 then the system 119910 = ℎ(119905 119906) ispassive If ℎ(119905 119906) belongs to the sector (0infin) then119910 = ℎ(119905 119906)is strictly passive
322 Strictly Positive Real Transfer Functions A single-inputndashsingle-output linear system transfer function 119866(119904) isstrictly positive real function if and only if
(1) 119866(infin) gt 0(2) all poles of 119866(119904) are in Re[119904] lt 0 and(3) Re[119866(j120596)] gt 0 forall120596 gt 0

The second condition requires all poles of 119866(119904) to be in theopen left-half complex plane whereas the third conditionrequires the Nyquist plot of 119866(j120596) to lie in the closed right-half complex plane
Lemma 1 provides the relationship between positive realand passivity properties
Lemma 1 The linear time-invariant minimal realization = 119860119909 + 119861119906
119910 = 119862119909 + 119863119906(17)

323 Passivity Theorems Consider the feedback connectionof Figure 7 where 119866(119904) is a time-invariant dynamical systemandℎ(119905 119906) is a time-varyingmemoryless functionTheorem 2presents the method of analyzing the Lyapunov stability offeedback systems this method uses the passivity propertiesof the feedback components
Theorem 2 Consider the feedback connection of a strictlypassive time-invariant dynamical system 119866(119904) with a passivetime-varying memoryless function ℎ(119905 119906) Then the origin ofthe closed-loop system is uniformly asymptotically stable
Furthermore if 119866(119904) is a strictly positive real transferfunction (from Lemma 1) then the dynamical system isstrictly passive According to Theorem 2 the origin of theclosed-loop system is uniformly asymptotically stable
324 Loop Transformations When 119866(119904) or ℎ(119905 119906) does notsatisfy the conditions of Theorem 2 the feedback systemcan be transformed into an equivalent feedback systemwhich satisfies the conditions through loop transformationsSuppose119866(119904) is a time-invariant dynamical system and ℎ(119905 119906)is a time-varying memoryless function that belongs to thesector [120572 120573] Then the feedback system can be reconfiguredinto a feedback system that is connected by 119866(119904) and ℎ(119905 119906)through loop transformations as shown in Figure 8 whereℎ(119905 119906) is a memoryless function that belongs to the sector[0infin] We can now apply Theorem 2 if 119866(119904) satisfies theconditions of the respective theorem In this case the systemsshown in Figures 7 8(a) and 8(b) are equivalent in terms ofstability

=119904 [(1199045 + 1)4 minus 119873 (119881119888119881119898) 119877 (119904) (119879120572119904 + 1)] + 119873 (119879119865 minus 119905119896)
119904 [(1199045 + 1)4 minus 119873 (119881119888119881119898) 119877 (119904) (119879120572119904 + 1)] + 119873119879119865(20)
In accordance with Theorem 2 if 119866(119904) is strictly positivereal then the feedback system satisfies the Lyapunov stabilitycondition that is the origin of the original PN guidancesystem is uniformly asymptotically stable over the 119905 isin [0 119905119896]interval The following are three conditions for 119866(119904) to bestrictly positive real
(i) Substituting theDRRTF inTable 1 into (14) shows that119866(infin) = 1 gt 0 for each DRRTF Therefore the firstcondition is satisfied
(ii) Expanding the characteristic equation of119866(119904) into thefollowing form
119886119899119904119899 + 119886119899minus1119904
119899minus1 + sdot sdot sdot + 11988621199042 + 1198861119904
1 + 1198860 = 0 (21)
Then for the second condition the Routh criterion can beused to obtain the constraint inequality that the eigenvaluesare all on the open left-half complex plane
(iii) The third condition holds when the Nyquist plot of119866(j120596) lies in the closed right-half complex plane
The previous analysis shows that the parameters thataffect the stability of the PN guidance system include 119873119881119888119881119898 119879120572 119879119865 119905119896 and 119877(119904)
5 Simulations and Analysis
This section analyzes the influence of different DRRTFmodels caused by disturbance torque and radome error onthe stability of the guidance system through simulationsThetypical PN guidance system parameters (119873 = 4119881119888119881119898 = 15119879120572 = 3 119879119865 = 10 and 119879119892 = 05) equivalent gains (1198701 = 101198702 = 10) and disturbance torque coefficients (119870119899 = 0001119870120596 = 0001) are selected In accordance with the Routhcriterion the second condition under the abovementionedparameters is satisfied To examine the third condition take119870119903 equal tominus003 and 003 respectively and theNyquist plotsof119866(j120596) corresponding to different DRRTFmodels and 119905119896 arepresented in Figure 9
Figure 9 illustrates that the critical stability time 119905119896119888for different DRRTF models is different under the sameconditions Regardless of the disturbance torque type thecritical stability time of the system when 119870119903 = 003 is greaterthan that when 119870119903 = minus003 Therefore when 119870119903 = minus003 theconstraint on the terminal guidance time when the guidancesystem satisfies the Lyapunov stability conditions is stricterthan that when 119870119903 = 003

Figure 10 illustrates that different 119879119865 have little effect onthe unstable flight time of the guidance system The time ofinstability can be delayed by extending the terminal guidancetime Under the action of spring torque the unstable flighttime 119905119906119899119904 increases rapidly with the increase of 119870119904 When 119870119904increases to a certain value the guidance system cannot meetthe stability conditions during the entire terminal guidancetime Moreover when 119870119903 = minus003 the unstable flight time ishigher and the stability regions are smaller than those when119870119903 = 003 The change law of the stable boundary of theguidance system under the action of the damping momentis similar to that of the spring torque Only when 119870119903 = 003
the unstable flight time decreases slightly and then increasesrapidly with the increase of119870V
Figure 11 shows the uniformly asymptotically stableboundary of the system determined by 119870119903 and 119905119906119899119904 underdifferent disturbances when 119879119865 = 10
Figure 11 illustrates that when 119870119903 lt 0 the unstable flighttime is considerably larger than that when 119870119903 gt 0 andincreases sharply with the increase of |119870119903| When 119870119903 lt 0the tolerance of the guidance system to the radome erroris approximately 3 which is less than that when 119870119903 gt 0(higher than 8) When 119870119903 gt 0 the unstable flight timedecreases slowly as |119870119903| increases which is beneficial to

the guidance system However when |119870119903| exceeds a certainlimit the guidance system immediately becomes unstableindicating that the tolerance of the guidance system to theradome error is also limited
Figure 12 presents the uniformly asymptotically stableboundary of the systemdetermined by119879120572 and119870119904 or119870V underdifferent119870119903 when 119879119865 = 10 and 119905119906119899119904 = 7
Figure 12 shows that the stability regions of the guidancesystem decrease with the increase of 119879120572 119879120572 is related to thealtitude of the missilersquos flight and 119879120572 is relatively large at highaltitude If 119879119892 is small then the guidance system will likelylose stability when the missile is flying at a high altitudeTherefore the decelerating response of the guidance systemin high airspace should be given considerable attention
Moreover under the action of spring torque the stabilityregions when 119870119903 lt 0 are smaller and the stability regionswhen 119870119903 gt 0 are larger than that when 119870119903 = 0 Under theaction of damping torque positive and negative 119870119903 lead to astability regions reduction When 119870119903 decreases to a certainvalue and 119879120572 is large the guidance system will not be stableTherefore the disturbance rejection rate index should bestrictly constrained in engineering practice
From the above analysis the stability regions for anegative slope are smaller than that for a positive slope andlager values of 119879120572 lead to a smaller range of stability Thesetrends are consistent with those obtained in [8] using theRouth criterion However there will be differences in thestability margin

6 Conclusions
The influence of the disturbance rejection rate and radomeerror slope on the Lyapunov stability of the PN guidancesystem is analyzed by passivity theorems Results of thesimulation show that different DRRTF models have differenteffects on the stability of the guidance system The stableboundary and tolerance of the PN guidance system to thespring torque damping torque and radome slope differsignificantly The unstable flight time caused by negativeradome slope is higher than that due to positive radomeslopeThe constraint of disturbance rejection rate indexwhenthe radome slope is negative and is stricter than that whenradome slope is positive These results provide a theoreticalbasis for the overall design and engineering application ofguidance systems and radar seekers

system In this study passivity theorems are used to analyzethe Lyapunov stability of the equilibrium point of the systemWhen studying the Lyapunov stability we consider the caseof zero input Let the reference input 119886119905 in Figure 6 be zeroand the guidance system is considered as follows
= 119891 (119905 119909) (12)
If
119891 (119905 0) = 0 forall119905 ge 0 (13)
then the origin is the equilibrium point of (12) at 119905 = 0 Theequilibrium point 119909 = 0 of the system (12) is
(i) uniformly stable if each 120585 gt 0 has 120575 = 120575(120585) gt 0independent of 1199050 such that

(ii) uniformly asymptotically stable if it is uniformlystable and has a positive constant 119888 independent of 1199050such that for all 119909(1199050) lt 119888 119909(119905) rarr 0 as 119905 rarr infinuniformly in 1199050 that is for each 120578 gt 0 119879 = 119879(120578) gt 0is observed such that

Therefore if the guidance system is uniformly asymp-totically stable at some initial moment 1199050 then the systemhas Lyapunov stability at all 1199050 in the defined interval andthe convergence of the system will not deteriorate with anincrease in 1199050
32 Lyapunov Stability Represented by Passivity TheoremsPassivity theorems involve the concepts of passivity andpositive real The definitions of passivity and positive real areprovided in the following Proof of the relevant lemma andtheorem is presented in [19]
321 Passivity of a Time-Varying Memoryless FunctionWhen the output of the system is independent of the statevariables the system can be expressed as 119910 = ℎ(119905 119906) that isa memoryless function If ℎ is a scalar function that satisfiesthe inequality

for all (119905 119906) where 120572 and 120573 are real numbers with 120573 ge 120572 thenℎ belongs to the sector [120572 120573] If ℎ(119905 119906) belongs to the sector[0infin] that is 119906ℎ(119905 119906) ge 0 then the system 119910 = ℎ(119905 119906) ispassive If ℎ(119905 119906) belongs to the sector (0infin) then119910 = ℎ(119905 119906)is strictly passive

The second condition requires all poles of 119866(119904) to be in theopen left-half complex plane whereas the third conditionrequires the Nyquist plot of 119866(j120596) to lie in the closed right-half complex plane
Lemma 1 provides the relationship between positive realand passivity properties
Lemma 1 The linear time-invariant minimal realization = 119860119909 + 119861119906
119910 = 119862119909 + 119863119906(17)

Theorem 2 Consider the feedback connection of a strictlypassive time-invariant dynamical system 119866(119904) with a passivetime-varying memoryless function ℎ(119905 119906) Then the origin ofthe closed-loop system is uniformly asymptotically stable
Furthermore if 119866(119904) is a strictly positive real transferfunction (from Lemma 1) then the dynamical system isstrictly passive According to Theorem 2 the origin of theclosed-loop system is uniformly asymptotically stable
324 Loop Transformations When 119866(119904) or ℎ(119905 119906) does notsatisfy the conditions of Theorem 2 the feedback systemcan be transformed into an equivalent feedback systemwhich satisfies the conditions through loop transformationsSuppose119866(119904) is a time-invariant dynamical system and ℎ(119905 119906)is a time-varying memoryless function that belongs to thesector [120572 120573] Then the feedback system can be reconfiguredinto a feedback system that is connected by 119866(119904) and ℎ(119905 119906)through loop transformations as shown in Figure 8 whereℎ(119905 119906) is a memoryless function that belongs to the sector[0infin] We can now apply Theorem 2 if 119866(119904) satisfies theconditions of the respective theorem In this case the systemsshown in Figures 7 8(a) and 8(b) are equivalent in terms ofstability

Let 119905119896 be any moment of the terminal guidance Wediscuss the stability of guidance systems in the boundedclosed domain 119905 isin [0 119905119896] Then ℎ(119905 119906) belongs to the sector[1119879119865 1(119879119865 minus 119905119896)] and is not passive With the use of trans-formations to reconfigure the system into the form shownin Figure 8(b) where ℎ(119905 119906) is a time-varying memorylessfunction that belongs to the sector [0infin]119866(119904) is transformedinto119866 (119904)

In accordance with Theorem 2 if 119866(119904) is strictly positivereal then the feedback system satisfies the Lyapunov stabilitycondition that is the origin of the original PN guidancesystem is uniformly asymptotically stable over the 119905 isin [0 119905119896]interval The following are three conditions for 119866(119904) to bestrictly positive real
(i) Substituting theDRRTF inTable 1 into (14) shows that119866(infin) = 1 gt 0 for each DRRTF Therefore the firstcondition is satisfied
(ii) Expanding the characteristic equation of119866(119904) into thefollowing form
119886119899119904119899 + 119886119899minus1119904

1 + 1198860 = 0 (21)
Then for the second condition the Routh criterion can beused to obtain the constraint inequality that the eigenvaluesare all on the open left-half complex plane
(iii) The third condition holds when the Nyquist plot of119866(j120596) lies in the closed right-half complex plane
The previous analysis shows that the parameters thataffect the stability of the PN guidance system include 119873119881119888119881119898 119879120572 119879119865 119905119896 and 119877(119904)
5 Simulations and Analysis
This section analyzes the influence of different DRRTFmodels caused by disturbance torque and radome error onthe stability of the guidance system through simulationsThetypical PN guidance system parameters (119873 = 4119881119888119881119898 = 15119879120572 = 3 119879119865 = 10 and 119879119892 = 05) equivalent gains (1198701 = 101198702 = 10) and disturbance torque coefficients (119870119899 = 0001119870120596 = 0001) are selected In accordance with the Routhcriterion the second condition under the abovementionedparameters is satisfied To examine the third condition take119870119903 equal tominus003 and 003 respectively and theNyquist plotsof119866(j120596) corresponding to different DRRTFmodels and 119905119896 arepresented in Figure 9
Figure 9 illustrates that the critical stability time 119905119896119888for different DRRTF models is different under the sameconditions Regardless of the disturbance torque type thecritical stability time of the system when 119870119903 = 003 is greaterthan that when 119870119903 = minus003 Therefore when 119870119903 = minus003 theconstraint on the terminal guidance time when the guidancesystem satisfies the Lyapunov stability conditions is stricterthan that when 119870119903 = 003

Figure 10 Stable boundary corresponding to different 119879119865
Figure 10 illustrates that different 119879119865 have little effect onthe unstable flight time of the guidance system The time ofinstability can be delayed by extending the terminal guidancetime Under the action of spring torque the unstable flighttime 119905119906119899119904 increases rapidly with the increase of 119870119904 When 119870119904increases to a certain value the guidance system cannot meetthe stability conditions during the entire terminal guidancetime Moreover when 119870119903 = minus003 the unstable flight time ishigher and the stability regions are smaller than those when119870119903 = 003 The change law of the stable boundary of theguidance system under the action of the damping momentis similar to that of the spring torque Only when 119870119903 = 003
the unstable flight time decreases slightly and then increasesrapidly with the increase of119870V
Figure 11 shows the uniformly asymptotically stableboundary of the system determined by 119870119903 and 119905119906119899119904 underdifferent disturbances when 119879119865 = 10
Figure 11 illustrates that when 119870119903 lt 0 the unstable flighttime is considerably larger than that when 119870119903 gt 0 andincreases sharply with the increase of |119870119903| When 119870119903 lt 0the tolerance of the guidance system to the radome erroris approximately 3 which is less than that when 119870119903 gt 0(higher than 8) When 119870119903 gt 0 the unstable flight timedecreases slowly as |119870119903| increases which is beneficial to

the guidance system However when |119870119903| exceeds a certainlimit the guidance system immediately becomes unstableindicating that the tolerance of the guidance system to theradome error is also limited
Figure 12 presents the uniformly asymptotically stableboundary of the systemdetermined by119879120572 and119870119904 or119870V underdifferent119870119903 when 119879119865 = 10 and 119905119906119899119904 = 7
Figure 12 shows that the stability regions of the guidancesystem decrease with the increase of 119879120572 119879120572 is related to thealtitude of the missilersquos flight and 119879120572 is relatively large at highaltitude If 119879119892 is small then the guidance system will likelylose stability when the missile is flying at a high altitudeTherefore the decelerating response of the guidance systemin high airspace should be given considerable attention
Moreover under the action of spring torque the stabilityregions when 119870119903 lt 0 are smaller and the stability regionswhen 119870119903 gt 0 are larger than that when 119870119903 = 0 Under theaction of damping torque positive and negative 119870119903 lead to astability regions reduction When 119870119903 decreases to a certainvalue and 119879120572 is large the guidance system will not be stableTherefore the disturbance rejection rate index should bestrictly constrained in engineering practice
From the above analysis the stability regions for anegative slope are smaller than that for a positive slope andlager values of 119879120572 lead to a smaller range of stability Thesetrends are consistent with those obtained in [8] using theRouth criterion However there will be differences in thestability margin

6 Conclusions
The influence of the disturbance rejection rate and radomeerror slope on the Lyapunov stability of the PN guidancesystem is analyzed by passivity theorems Results of thesimulation show that different DRRTF models have differenteffects on the stability of the guidance system The stableboundary and tolerance of the PN guidance system to thespring torque damping torque and radome slope differsignificantly The unstable flight time caused by negativeradome slope is higher than that due to positive radomeslopeThe constraint of disturbance rejection rate indexwhenthe radome slope is negative and is stricter than that whenradome slope is positive These results provide a theoreticalbasis for the overall design and engineering application ofguidance systems and radar seekers

system In this study passivity theorems are used to analyzethe Lyapunov stability of the equilibrium point of the systemWhen studying the Lyapunov stability we consider the caseof zero input Let the reference input 119886119905 in Figure 6 be zeroand the guidance system is considered as follows
= 119891 (119905 119909) (12)
If
119891 (119905 0) = 0 forall119905 ge 0 (13)
then the origin is the equilibrium point of (12) at 119905 = 0 Theequilibrium point 119909 = 0 of the system (12) is
(i) uniformly stable if each 120585 gt 0 has 120575 = 120575(120585) gt 0independent of 1199050 such that

Therefore if the guidance system is uniformly asymp-totically stable at some initial moment 1199050 then the systemhas Lyapunov stability at all 1199050 in the defined interval andthe convergence of the system will not deteriorate with anincrease in 1199050
32 Lyapunov Stability Represented by Passivity TheoremsPassivity theorems involve the concepts of passivity andpositive real The definitions of passivity and positive real areprovided in the following Proof of the relevant lemma andtheorem is presented in [19]

1205721199062 le 119906ℎ (119905 119906) le 1205731199062 (16)
for all (119905 119906) where 120572 and 120573 are real numbers with 120573 ge 120572 thenℎ belongs to the sector [120572 120573] If ℎ(119905 119906) belongs to the sector[0infin] that is 119906ℎ(119905 119906) ge 0 then the system 119910 = ℎ(119905 119906) ispassive If ℎ(119905 119906) belongs to the sector (0infin) then119910 = ℎ(119905 119906)is strictly passive
322 Strictly Positive Real Transfer Functions A single-inputndashsingle-output linear system transfer function 119866(119904) isstrictly positive real function if and only if
(1) 119866(infin) gt 0(2) all poles of 119866(119904) are in Re[119904] lt 0 and(3) Re[119866(j120596)] gt 0 forall120596 gt 0

Figure 10 illustrates that different 119879119865 have little effect onthe unstable flight time of the guidance system The time ofinstability can be delayed by extending the terminal guidancetime Under the action of spring torque the unstable flighttime 119905119906119899119904 increases rapidly with the increase of 119870119904 When 119870119904increases to a certain value the guidance system cannot meetthe stability conditions during the entire terminal guidancetime Moreover when 119870119903 = minus003 the unstable flight time ishigher and the stability regions are smaller than those when119870119903 = 003 The change law of the stable boundary of theguidance system under the action of the damping momentis similar to that of the spring torque Only when 119870119903 = 003
the unstable flight time decreases slightly and then increasesrapidly with the increase of119870V
Figure 11 shows the uniformly asymptotically stableboundary of the system determined by 119870119903 and 119905119906119899119904 underdifferent disturbances when 119879119865 = 10
Figure 11 illustrates that when 119870119903 lt 0 the unstable flighttime is considerably larger than that when 119870119903 gt 0 andincreases sharply with the increase of |119870119903| When 119870119903 lt 0the tolerance of the guidance system to the radome erroris approximately 3 which is less than that when 119870119903 gt 0(higher than 8) When 119870119903 gt 0 the unstable flight timedecreases slowly as |119870119903| increases which is beneficial to

the guidance system However when |119870119903| exceeds a certainlimit the guidance system immediately becomes unstableindicating that the tolerance of the guidance system to theradome error is also limited
Figure 12 presents the uniformly asymptotically stableboundary of the systemdetermined by119879120572 and119870119904 or119870V underdifferent119870119903 when 119879119865 = 10 and 119905119906119899119904 = 7
Figure 12 shows that the stability regions of the guidancesystem decrease with the increase of 119879120572 119879120572 is related to thealtitude of the missilersquos flight and 119879120572 is relatively large at highaltitude If 119879119892 is small then the guidance system will likelylose stability when the missile is flying at a high altitudeTherefore the decelerating response of the guidance systemin high airspace should be given considerable attention
Moreover under the action of spring torque the stabilityregions when 119870119903 lt 0 are smaller and the stability regionswhen 119870119903 gt 0 are larger than that when 119870119903 = 0 Under theaction of damping torque positive and negative 119870119903 lead to astability regions reduction When 119870119903 decreases to a certainvalue and 119879120572 is large the guidance system will not be stableTherefore the disturbance rejection rate index should bestrictly constrained in engineering practice
From the above analysis the stability regions for anegative slope are smaller than that for a positive slope andlager values of 119879120572 lead to a smaller range of stability Thesetrends are consistent with those obtained in [8] using theRouth criterion However there will be differences in thestability margin

6 Conclusions
The influence of the disturbance rejection rate and radomeerror slope on the Lyapunov stability of the PN guidancesystem is analyzed by passivity theorems Results of thesimulation show that different DRRTF models have differenteffects on the stability of the guidance system The stableboundary and tolerance of the PN guidance system to thespring torque damping torque and radome slope differsignificantly The unstable flight time caused by negativeradome slope is higher than that due to positive radomeslopeThe constraint of disturbance rejection rate indexwhenthe radome slope is negative and is stricter than that whenradome slope is positive These results provide a theoreticalbasis for the overall design and engineering application ofguidance systems and radar seekers

119905119906119899119904 = 119879119865 minus 119905119896 indicates unstable flight time Figure 10shows the uniformly asymptotically stable boundary of thesystem determined by 119870119904 or 119870V and 119905119906119899119904 under different 119879119865when 119873 = 4 and 119879120572 = 3 The regions above and below thecurve are stable and unstable respectively

Figure 10 illustrates that different 119879119865 have little effect onthe unstable flight time of the guidance system The time ofinstability can be delayed by extending the terminal guidancetime Under the action of spring torque the unstable flighttime 119905119906119899119904 increases rapidly with the increase of 119870119904 When 119870119904increases to a certain value the guidance system cannot meetthe stability conditions during the entire terminal guidancetime Moreover when 119870119903 = minus003 the unstable flight time ishigher and the stability regions are smaller than those when119870119903 = 003 The change law of the stable boundary of theguidance system under the action of the damping momentis similar to that of the spring torque Only when 119870119903 = 003

the guidance system However when |119870119903| exceeds a certainlimit the guidance system immediately becomes unstableindicating that the tolerance of the guidance system to theradome error is also limited
Figure 12 presents the uniformly asymptotically stableboundary of the systemdetermined by119879120572 and119870119904 or119870V underdifferent119870119903 when 119879119865 = 10 and 119905119906119899119904 = 7
Figure 12 shows that the stability regions of the guidancesystem decrease with the increase of 119879120572 119879120572 is related to thealtitude of the missilersquos flight and 119879120572 is relatively large at highaltitude If 119879119892 is small then the guidance system will likelylose stability when the missile is flying at a high altitudeTherefore the decelerating response of the guidance systemin high airspace should be given considerable attention
Moreover under the action of spring torque the stabilityregions when 119870119903 lt 0 are smaller and the stability regionswhen 119870119903 gt 0 are larger than that when 119870119903 = 0 Under theaction of damping torque positive and negative 119870119903 lead to astability regions reduction When 119870119903 decreases to a certainvalue and 119879120572 is large the guidance system will not be stableTherefore the disturbance rejection rate index should bestrictly constrained in engineering practice
From the above analysis the stability regions for anegative slope are smaller than that for a positive slope andlager values of 119879120572 lead to a smaller range of stability Thesetrends are consistent with those obtained in [8] using theRouth criterion However there will be differences in thestability margin

the guidance system However when |119870119903| exceeds a certainlimit the guidance system immediately becomes unstableindicating that the tolerance of the guidance system to theradome error is also limited
Figure 12 presents the uniformly asymptotically stableboundary of the systemdetermined by119879120572 and119870119904 or119870V underdifferent119870119903 when 119879119865 = 10 and 119905119906119899119904 = 7
Figure 12 shows that the stability regions of the guidancesystem decrease with the increase of 119879120572 119879120572 is related to thealtitude of the missilersquos flight and 119879120572 is relatively large at highaltitude If 119879119892 is small then the guidance system will likelylose stability when the missile is flying at a high altitudeTherefore the decelerating response of the guidance systemin high airspace should be given considerable attention
Moreover under the action of spring torque the stabilityregions when 119870119903 lt 0 are smaller and the stability regionswhen 119870119903 gt 0 are larger than that when 119870119903 = 0 Under theaction of damping torque positive and negative 119870119903 lead to astability regions reduction When 119870119903 decreases to a certainvalue and 119879120572 is large the guidance system will not be stableTherefore the disturbance rejection rate index should bestrictly constrained in engineering practice
From the above analysis the stability regions for anegative slope are smaller than that for a positive slope andlager values of 119879120572 lead to a smaller range of stability Thesetrends are consistent with those obtained in [8] using theRouth criterion However there will be differences in thestability margin

6 Conclusions
The influence of the disturbance rejection rate and radomeerror slope on the Lyapunov stability of the PN guidancesystem is analyzed by passivity theorems Results of thesimulation show that different DRRTF models have differenteffects on the stability of the guidance system The stableboundary and tolerance of the PN guidance system to thespring torque damping torque and radome slope differsignificantly The unstable flight time caused by negativeradome slope is higher than that due to positive radomeslopeThe constraint of disturbance rejection rate indexwhenthe radome slope is negative and is stricter than that whenradome slope is positive These results provide a theoreticalbasis for the overall design and engineering application ofguidance systems and radar seekers
