RF TO OPTISONIC BOLOMETER.
Abstract
The RF to optisonic bolometer system consists of separate transmitting and receiving units operating over an ultrasonic data link. The miniature transmitter is completely self-contained and may be inserted completely within the electroexplosive device, transmitting out through the device structure by means of an ultrasonic carrier. Transmitter modulator information is provided by a thermistor which detects and measures the infrared radiation given off by the detonating bridge wires. In operation, the transmitter is substituted for the igniter in an electroexplosive device and the remote receiver monitors the bridge wire temperature as the device is subjected to an electromagnetic radiation environment. An operational system was tested. Data, relating bridge wire characteristics to numerous parameters, were compiled. (Author)
