HERO SUPPORTING STUDIES
Abstract
HERO project evaluation of the MARK 7 MOD 0 ignition element is reported. The data indicate that 5 db protection is afforded at 250 Mc while the sensitivity at 30 Mc differs little from its dc level. Firing was attempted atc, CW and pulsed power. Neither 154 watts of CW power nor 20 watts, average, of pulsed power were able to bring about a functioning. Also with 10 watts at 3 Gc CW, applied for 10 minutes, not one of ten elements was apparently affected. All data collected on this item relevant to its RF evaluation are presented in summary form. This includes RF firing data from 10 Mc to 3 Gc for both the protected and standard elements, as well as the attenuation and base loss measurements in the same range of frequencies. Results of attenuation measurements of a tantalum capacitor are given. Within the 0.1 to 10 Mc range values between 2.5 to 15 db are obtained. Additional measurements are planned.
