Project Echo - Standby Receiver System
Abstract
The Echo I satellite receiving system at the Bell Telephone Laboratories facilities at Holmdel, New Jersey, required a 2390-Mc standby receiver system to maintain operation during possible failures of the primary maser receiver. Details of the two matched parametric amplifiers used to provide the standby receiver are described. The use of this system in the initial Moonbounce experiments and in Project Echo is described. Details of an emergency operation at the beginning of a balloon pass are also presented. (Author)
