DIGITAL PROCESSING EQUIPMENT FOR THE SPACE RADIO SYSTEMS FACILITY AND ITS UTILIZATION.

Abstract

A description is given of the digital processing equipment used for the Space Radio Systems Facility at Aerospace Corporation. This equipment has been programmed to position the millimeter wave antenna to an overall pointing accuracy of 20 sec of arc. The antenna servo loop has been closed through the digital computer, and various modes of automatic antenna positioning and preliminary data reduction have been incorporated into the processing equipment.
