Evaluation Studies of Telemetry System Components

Abstract

A comparative evaluation of commercial telemetry equipment is being conducted under contract. During the span of this contract, major manufacturers of certain categories of airborne system components are asked to submit their products on consignment. In each instance the electrical characteristics are measured and compared against the manufacturer's published specifications. The results of these tests are classified as proprietary information and made available to AFCRL and the individual manufacturer concerned. This evaluation program was initiated in April 1958 (under contract AF19(604)-3506) as a means of insuring the receipt of working units. Since that time, the program has expanded to the point where all manufacturers are invited to participate. RF transmitters and Subcarrier Oscillators are the two main categories of components tested to date. The first section of each chapter details the test performed, equipment used and the procedures followed. The second section of each chapter contains a tabulation of the equipment tested and the resulting data.
