CHARACTERIZATION OF SQUIB MK 1 MOD O: SENSITIVITY TO 9 GC RADAR IN THE NEAR FIELD
Abstract
Power delivered by a radar set at 9 Gc was coupled to the Mk 1 squib by using the squib leads as 3/2 lambda dipoles placed at the mouth of a micro- wave horn. Bridgewire temperatures were measured by injecting DC current at the RF voltage null points on the dipoles. Temperatures for firings averaged 230 degrees C. 400 C was expected. Though some temperature oscillograms showed normal thermal stacking, there were many cases indicating variation of coupling or internal flow of RF energy.
