HERO SUPPORTING STUDIES

Abstract

The reduction of voltage maximum and voltage minimum readings to indicate power delivered to an arbitrary termination is the subject of recent study. In one experiment, power delivered to a MARK 1 MOD 0 squib determined in this manner is either too high, or the squib plug is more lossy at 1 Gc than was supposed. Another test using a uniform system indicates that successive power readings made along a length of slotted line serve to indicate the system loss. Thnt this technique leads to reliable estiniates of the power reaching the termination is yet uncertain. Except for bad data due to the inclusion of a faulty section of adjustable coaxial line, validation of this conjecture would have occurred this period. More experimental and theoretical work win need be performed.
