Propagation Simulator Enhancement Program

Abstract

The DNA Propagation Simulator was designed and fabricated by General Electric Company to simulate in hardware the propagation disturbance in a transionsopheric radio link caused by a high-altitude nuclear detonation. Under Contract DNA-83-C-0109, General Electric Company added several enhancements to the DNA Propagation Simulator, including incorporation of the VAX 11/730 computer, automatic adjustment of the mean power profile, additional delay lines with 40 and 80 nanosecond tap spacing, and l- and S-band frequency translators. Field support was also provided to users of the simulator. This final technical report summarizes the achievements of this enhancement program. Keywords included: Propagation Simulator, Delay Lines, Frequency Translator, and Processing Classified Data.
