Abstract
With the increase of flight speed, infrared (IR) seeker may be seriously affected by high temperature shock-layer in front of dome. Shock-layer radiance is produced by molecular processes and has implications for sensor waveband selection. This paper examines the impacts of high temperature shock-layer IR radiance from a molecular radiometry point of view. We derived the mathematical expressions of rotational quantum number of maximum intensity and the corresponding wavenumber of P and R branch. The theoretical calculation and the simulation based on HITRAN database are conducted. Results show that with the increasing of temperature, the rotational quantum number of maximum intensity will be larger. Ultimately, the wavenumber of P and R branch moves towards long wavelength and short wavelength direction respectively. The conclusions subserve to select sensor waveband.
