DEVELOPMENT OF COMPONENTS FOR X SUB A FREQUENCY BAND,

Abstract

R-F Components developed for the X sub a frequency band are described. This band covers the frequency range from 5200 to 5500 megacycles which utilizes a hitherto unused portion of the spectrum. Transmitter power should be increased over that available at X-band (9,000 megacycles) and antenna gain is greater than that at S-band (3,000 megacycles). This provides some advantage for the X sub a frequency over either of the two bands now in use. Components developed for the 1-1/2 in. x 3/4 in. x .064 in. wave guide include choke-flange connector, rotating joint, directional-coupler mixer, standing-wave indicator, wavemeters (two types) and a calibrated attenuator. These components are utilized in receiver and test equipment and have some transmitter applications. (Author)
