Instrumentation to Measure Operation of Windowless Antenna during Rocket Flight.
Abstract
HIS REPORT DESCRIBES INSTRUMENTATION DESIGNED TO MEASURE THE PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF BASE MOUNTED ANTENNAS DURING A LOW ALTITUDE HYPERSONIC FLIGHT. The parameters to be measured include reflection coefficients, interantenna coupling and electron density in the vicinity of the antennas. Standard PAM/FM/FM telemetry system is used for data transmission through a two antenna system mounted on the side of the nosecone. The telemetry antennas are also used as a supplementary diagnostics tool. The instrumentation was designed to be housed within a slender eight degree half-angle cone having a 22.9 centimeter diameter base. (Author)
