ANTENNA COUPLER GROUP AN/SRA-33

Abstract

The development is presented of an automatically tuned 4-channel UHF Antenna Coupler Group AN/SRA-33. The data taken during the bench testing of model 1, and the bench and environmental testing of model 2 are included. The AN/SRA-33 meets all specification requirements under normal operating conditions. The antenna coupler group meets all specifications in regard to environment, with the exception of shock. Minor modifications to the AN/SRA-33 rack structure will provide compliance with the shocks requirement. The overall performance of the AN/SRA-33 was very good. No component failures were encountered during the testing of the two equipments. The ability of the equipment to retain its calibration through shock, vibration, and temperature was verified. The AN/SRA-33 is compatible with the AN/SRC-20 and AN/SRC-21 radio systems, both in performance and appearance. The antenna coupler will allow multichannel UHF communication with one antenna, and with a level of interference much below that of a multiantenna installation.
