THE DIFFERENCE FREQUENCY COULOMETER.

Abstract

A ground test system, continuously integrating the current through a satellite battery to obtain accurate charge data which is printed in tape form, is described. The data indicates the magnitude and direction of the charge transferred between printouts. The accuracy of the system is 0.1% rms full scale. System concepts, characteristics, circuit considerations, and calibration procedures are included. (Author)
