Performance Test of CXFA Transmitter and 527 Vacuum Tube

Abstract

This report is a broad summary of tests conducted at the Naval Research Laboratory between July 1943 and September 1944 on the CXFA/X5000 transmitter and on the type 527 vacuum tube used in the oscillator of this transmitter. The tests were made under NRL problem S423T-C. The transmitter, built by the Eitel McCullough Co., was a prototype of that subsequently incorporated in the SK-1M radar, manufactured by the General Electric Co., for the U.S. Marine Corps. The object of the tests was twofold: To determine the behavior, primarily the life expectancy, of the 527 tube, and to ascertain and correct any faults in, and otherwise improve, the transmitter.
