Transmitter Group AN/AKA( )

Abstract

The development of the AN/AKA( ) microwave telemetry transmitter is reported. The study and development phase related to the design of the equipment is described. In addition, a complete description of the final configuration is included along with typical test data. A method for multiplying the voltage vs. capacity characteristics of a varactor is described along with a derivation of the necessary design equations. In addition, a Figure of Merit for a varactor is defined for frequency modulation application. The presence of a grid structure resonance in present day UHF planar triodes is noted. The effects of these characteristics on transmitter performance are described in detail.
