CHARACTERIZATION OF SQUIB MK 1 MOD 0. 5-MEGACYCLE RF SENSITIVITY FOR LONG DURATION PULSES
Abstract
The response of the Squib Mk 1 Mod 0 to 5-Megacycle constant current (RMS) has been extended to long input times where the current amplitude for firing reaches a minimum asymptotic value. For a current amplitude of 374 milliamperes a pulse width of 155 milliseconds was found necessary to obtain 50- percent fires. When the current was allowed to flow for approximately 10 seconds (essentially steady state) a lower firing level of 308 milliamperes for 50-percent response was determined. These values are consistent with previous data obtained at 5 megacycles for shorter pulse times and also with DC constant current firing data.
