Development and Production of a Feasibility Type Advanced Development Model Solid State Transmitter for the Atmospheric Meteorological Radiosonde Set AN/AMT-4 (XE-VE).
Abstract
The objective was to produce a low cost unit in large production lots designed to be stored in the battery compartment of the modulator cavity MD-210 and to achieve low power consumption. A power oscillator in a stripline circuit using a Teflon substrate was used and a high degree of stability was achieved at relatively low cost. The final design resulted in developing a single printed circuit board integrating stripline circuits of the voltage/regulator modulator and pulse generator along with the RF generator and antenna. The feasibility of an Advanced Solid State Transmitter in the 1660 MHz - 1700 MHz frequency range was demonstrated. All units subjected to environmental testing proved the viability of the design.
