TELEMETRY ANTENNA FOR LINCOLN EXPERIMENTAL SATELLITES LES-1 AND LES-2

Abstract

The telemetry antenna used on the first two Lincoln Experimental Satellites consists of four short stubs equally spaced around, and parallel to, the spin axis of the satellite. A detailed description of the antenna and its transmission-line system is presented. Theoretical and model studies leading to the design of this antenna are discussed. Calculated and measured performance data are presented and compared.
