	Semi-active radar homing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In addition, the resolution of a radar is strongly related to the physical size of the antenna, in the small nose cone of a missile there isn't enough room to provide the sort of accuracy needed for guidance.
		Contrast this with beam riding systems, in which the radar is pointed at the target and the missile keeps itself centered in the beam by listening to the signal at the rear of the missile body.
		SARH missiles require the tracking radar to lock on to the target and then illuminate it for the entire duration of the missile's flight.

		As with semi-active homing missiles, a ground-based radar illuminates the target with radar energy which is then reflected, and similarly the missile picks up the energy being returned from the target.
		Unlike an active radar homing missile, the missile does not alert the target to the fact that it is homing in on it by blasting it with radiation.
		Modern phased-array radars, by virtue of their thin beams and low side lobes aren't even that easy to detect until they are illuminating the target.

	Air Power Analysis: AIM-120 AMRAAM
		Simply put, the small radar located in the missile is not powerful enough to detect and track a target over the ranges at which missile launch typically occurs.
		Because the radar only activates during the terminal phase of the missile's flight, the target receives little warning.
		Should the target attempt to protect itself with active jamming, the radar is capable of utilizing its medium-PRF mode to provide a "home-on-jam" function.

	Hughes F-98 Falcon
		The Falcon initially operated on the principle of semi-active radar homing, that is, it tracked and homed in on a radar echo reflected back from a target illuminated by a radar set carried in the aircraft that launched the missile.
		Infrared homing was considered to be ineffective in head-on encounters, and since semi-active radar homing was less precise, it was decided that the best option was to increase the yield of the warhead.
		Following launch, the ASG-18 radar of the F-108 was to be used for mid-course guidance and target illumination, and an infrared sensor was to be used for terminal homing.

		The AIM-7 Sparrow is a medium-range semi-active radar homing air-to-air missile operated by the USAF, US Navy, and USMC as well as various allied air forces.
		This was considered for the F5D Skylancer interceptor and for the abortive Avro Arrow, but the missile proved to be beyond the state of the art for the mid-1950s, and was cancelled before entering service.
		As with other semi-active radar guided missiles, the missile does not generate radar signals, but instead homes in on reflected continuous-wave signals from the launch platform's radar.

	Re: Advantage of a semi-active radar guided missile? - Aircraftbargains Forums
		I know that SARH missiles use the radar signals from the launching aircraft the guide themselves to the target, so the launching aircraft may be able to see through countermeasures, if you know what I mean.
		However, an actively guided missile does not require the launching aircraft to maintain a lock until impact.
		But in using a SARH missile it seems that the launching aircraft's radar could give the missile a "second chance" by directing the missile back to the correct target.

		Early SARH systems typically required the tracking radar to continually point at the target, known as "lock on".
		However advances in the electronics in both the missile tracking systems and the radars have largely eliminated this in modern systems.
		A number of additional systems are then used to "fine tune" the guidance, including additional information coded in the radar signal (phase angle for instance) and typically some sort of proximity fuse and often even a terminal guidance system.

		Because they home on radar energy reflected from their targets, semi-active radar homing (SARH) missiles like Sparrow or SkyFlash required that their targets should be constantly ‘illuminated’ by the launch aircraft’s continuous wave (or later pulse Doppler) radar.
		This meant that the missile used a small on-board radar to home onto the target in the final stages of flight.
		The weapon could use traditional semi-active radar homing to get to this point, though a missile combining SARH mid-course guidance with active radar terminal homing would share many of the same disadvantages as a traditional semi-active missile.

	Weapon Guidance Systems
		Many ARH weapons have a home on jam function which means that when jammed, the weapon will head for the jamming signal and target that.
		This is normally used to track on radar transmitters but can be used to home in on radio, microwave, and other similar signals as well.
		The weaknesses of this system is that it can be fooled by chaff, can be jammed by radar jamming, has minuses to targets that have radar stealth, most sensors will pick up the radar beam, and target must be in a direct line with the director (no over the horizon targeting).

		The AIM-7 Sparrow is a Semi-Active Radar Homing air-to-air missile used by Western air forces during the past 30 years.
		To address the combat failings of the design, the improved AIM-7E-2 was introduced in 1969 as a "dogfight missile." It had a shorter minimum range, clipped wings for higher maneuverability, improved autopilot, and better fuzing.
		The AIM-7E-3 had further improved fuzing and higher reliability, and the AIM-7E-4 was specially adapted for use with high-power fighter radars like the F-14's AWG-9 and F-15’s APG-63.
