STUDY OF DATA TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS FOR A SPACE SIMULATION CHAMBER-DESIGN AND TEST OF AN ENGINEERING MODEL,

Abstract

An engineering prototype is described of a data transmission system that was built to determine the feasibility of the concepts developed and a preliminary system design recommended in a study of data transmission systems for a space simulation chamber. A portion of the system recommended was built and tested. Data inputs were simulated and compared with the corresponding outputs. Design data and test results are given. THE ENGINEERING MODEL CONSISTS OF A PULSE-AMPLITUDE MODULATED FM microwave transmitter with the associated modulator, receiver, power supplies, and accessory test equipment required to test the design concepts. A microwave rotary joint was included in the system to evaluate this method of data transmission from a gimbal mounted vehicle. (Author)
