Laboratory and flight tests of airborne solid state UHF telemetry transmitter, discussing miniaturized coaxial hardware from RF power conservation viewpoint
Antenna pattern recording system has a discretionary signal level monitor which senses a specified minimum level occurring between sampling intervals. This enables RF power and percent coverage to be calculated more accurately.
Low-level RF amplifiers are operated at noise figures at or near the theoretical minimum, while maintaining high-gain stability. Formulas for the minimum amplifier noise figure value are derived from the analytical noise-figure expression involving the parameters of the equivalent circuit representing the actual system.

One of the problems inherent in the use of optical communication systems is the exceedingly high Doppler shift which can be expected. With the recent development of stable, linear, octavebandwidth, voltage-tunable oscillators, this problem has been solved. A laboratory tracking receiver which is capable of tracking a 1-GHz frequency shift at rates up to 12 MHz/s with subsequent coherent data demodulation was designed and tested. This work demonstrates that the design and fabrication of an RF subsystem, utilizing coherent demodulation of data, for wideband communications systems is now both feasible and practical.
The modifications, calibration, and tests of the RF liquid mass gaging system, Benedix Type X1625027, are given. Also given are test methods, test results, and optimum performance of the system.
Description of a microstrip-type single-pole double-throw switch, which uses only two PIN diodes, eliminates usual dc blocking capacitors, and has demonstrated an RF power handling capacity greater than 100 W CW at S-band. The insertion loss is less than 0.25 dB, and the input-to-off port isolation is greater than 36 dB over a bandwidth larger than 30 MHz.
Converter can be used for automatic spectrum analysis. Automatic gain amplifier digitizes RF amplitude, and amplifier gain is measured by binary counter. Amount of gain corresponds to signal level and is proportional to count in counter. System can be used to calculate AM and FM modulation index and other parameters of pulse-modulated FM waves.
