Pulse Characteristics of a Typical Missile Ground System Cable,
Abstract
With the growing use of digital systems and other systems using pulse signals, the requirements placed on data transmission circuits are increasing severely. This is the case when, for example, a digital ground computer must communicate with a digital guidance computer in a missile system where one or both were once analog computers. In this report, a typical missile ground system molded cable assembly is examined for its pulse transmission characteristics. The tests also surveyed the effects of grounded and floated shields, cross-talk energy, and techniques of measurement of significant cable parameters. Significant results include the findings that the cable does act similar to a radio frequency transmission line, that noticeable waveform distortion can be incurred by grounding shields, and that cross talk can be significantly reduced even in unshielded wires by a nearby grounded conductor.
