Talk:Infrared homing

The whole article
I fear the person that wrote this is a "conspiracy theorist". This is one of the worst so-called articles I've ever read on wikipedia. Partly because theres only (edited) 2 references being used to quote a lot of "facts"; and partly because of the obscene frequency italics, "quotation marks", and the phrase 'so-called' have been used. I'm not fussed if I get banned for being blunt. This is a bad article. I don't know the correct format for editing things/comments, so I've copied the previous user. This is my first time editing wikipedia, I've never been this upset by a page before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.7.125.237 (talk) 18:28, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Modulation? Scanning?
This is a sensor. What's being modulated, and how does this improve the detection? I'm also not very clear what 'spin scan' and 'conical scan' refer to. Can these sections be elaborated? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:470:E87F:0:21C:C0FF:FE91:7FB8 (talk) 07:29, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Diagrams Needed.
Particularly for the optical systems. The descriptive text is very dense and hard to follow. A picture is worth a thousand words - as the saying goes. I would imagine that the text books that are used to educate the scientists and engineers in this field would have a large number of such diagrams. For the lay person this visual clarity is even more important. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.93.81.127 (talk) 23:42, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Wikidata item
Infrared homing mentions rosette scan, which has the German equivalent de:w:Rosettenabtastung. Because there's no English equivalent, I created Rosette scan as a redirect and added a statement, that Q1494704 is a subclass of Q1366032. --ThT (talk) 21:20, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
