4.4 - 5.0 GHz Video Conversion.
Abstract
In response to the requirement that NWC discontinue using the 910 MHz radio frequency for air-to-ground video data-link target-control operations by January 1973, ground and flight tests were conducted to determine the feasibility of using radio frequencies in the 4.4 to 5.0 GHz range. The video data link system evaluated consisted of a QT-33A test bed, configured with the necessary transmitting equipment and antennas for air-to-ground transmission. The ground station included a tower-mounted, steerable dish antenna, which accepted aircraft tracking information from either an optical tracker near the site or a radar target acquisition system (TAS) with computer-designated tracking coordinates; a 4.45 GHz receiver; a video monitor; and video and signal recording equipment.
