Abstract
Checks are under way to determine the cause of an abnormally high functioning level of RF protected MARK 7 MOD O ignition elements at 1 Gc. In prep aration for tests of the MARK 1 MOD O squib and MARK 2 MOD O ignition element at 3 and 10 Gc, special mounting hardware is in development. The new mount is for waveguide adaption, but conforms in general style to the mount used for lower fre quency tests. Additional evaluations of a tanta lum feed-through capacitor were made. Tests were performed to determine the loss contributed by a system comprising the capacitor surrounded by a medium of salt water in varying concentrations. Results are not too conclusive, but they suggest that the loss for this system will increase with increasing conductivity of the surrounding medium. Development of a one-ohm self-indicating load and a three- voltmeter power measuring arrangement are discussed. The latter incorporates an UHF vacuum thermocouple for an ungrounded voltmeter.
