RADIO FREQUENCY PROPAGATION TO AND FROM ICBM'S AND IRBM'S,

Abstract

An analysis has been made of a large number of ICBM and IRBM instrumented launches to determine the causes of data 'drop outs'. Results of the analysis show effects produced by flame, antenna ionization, antenna pattern and pressure shock wave. Recommendations are included which will assist systems engineers to reduce the detrimental aspects of the effects encountered. These effects are applicable to all systems of all frequencies. Data includes radar, Azusa, telemetry and other equipment operating on frequencies from 200 megacycles to X-band. (Author)
