DESIGN OF 15-MC MICROELECTRONIC COUNTER FOR THE LASER RANGE FINDER.

Abstract

This report covers the design, fabrication and evaluation of a 15-Mc microelectronic Laser Range Counter which was undertaken on a Laboratory Director's In-House Program. The model which was developed measures only 1 1/4 in x 3 1/4 in x 5 in and weighs only 13 oz. It employs silicon integrated circuits, 'chip and wire circuits' and Micro-Modules. It is completely maintainable, and provides full performance over the temperature range of +150F to -40F. The microelectronic Laser Range Counter is operationally equivalent to the counter employed in the XE-6 Laser Range Finder. A 66% size reduction and a 75% weight reduction were achieved. (Author)
