Airborne X-Band Jammer AN-ALT-2 (XB-3)
Abstract
A random-noise-modulated X-band transmitter tunable over a frequency range of 8875 to 9825 Mc has been developed at NRL. The output power is between 130 and 200 watts, and the gross input power is on the order of 1 kw. The unit, which is unusually compact and lightweight for equipment of this rating, incorporates the Laboratory's newly developed system of 'slave look-through' which provides for a flexible utilization of complementary intercept equipment while jamming. The A1007 magnetron, which is the r-f power source, is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of its pushing factor and life, but it is otherwise well-suited for this service and is at present the only medium power source available in X-band for aircraft use.
