SPACE COMMUNICATIONS TECHNIQUES.

Abstract

The modification and completion of instrumentation for use in communications experiments with passive satellites are described. Boresighting instrumentation was installed at the Floyd test site near Rome, N. Y., and modifications for optical viewing were made to a 60-ft antenna reflector at that site. The cassegrain subreflector for the Trinidad site antenna was rebuilt and tested. Instrumentation for pulse operation at the communications frequency at the Trinidad site was completed with the installation of a duplexer and a receiver protector. (Author)
