A BROAD-BAND FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER AND MIXER FOR SISPERSIVE DOPPLER MEASUREMENTS

Abstract

The use of dispersive doppler techniques, in studies of the ionosphere, has led to the development of a frequency multiplier and mixer. A BROAD-BAND FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER AND MIXER WITH SINUSOIDAL OUTPUT IS DESCRIBED. For this particular device, the multiplication fac or is 6 and the bandwidth exceeds one octave. The multiplier and mixer were used in tracking operations for the past several months. It has provided dispersive doppler data in quantities and types which have been unavailable in the past. The device, together with the Transit satellite and the necessary receiving equipment, is considered to be satisfactorily filling the need for large quantities of high quality data, well suited for use in obtaining more quantitative information on ionospheric properties.
