Frequency and Bandwidth Tolerances for a Transponder Go-No-Go Wavemeter

Abstract

Consideration is given to the frequency and bandwidth tolerances of a wavemeter to be used as a part of a go-no-go transponder transmitter tester in a pulse-operated interrogator-beacon system. If the bandwidth is too narrow, and excessive number of transmitters may be rejected while on the other hand, if the bandwidth is too wide, the instrument may not reject enough of the transmitters which should be rejected. It is shown that a statistical treatment of system frequency and bandwidth tolerances found in equipment specifications provides a method of designating suitable go-no-go wavemeter tolerances. The presentation includes an example which gives recommended wavemeter frequency and bandwidth tolerances for use with a typical interrogator beacon system.
