The low-power sile of the coupler gees to an absurption

frequency meter acd Cerminates in a crystal Jetector.

This portion of the sys-

tem is intended to monitor frequeacy and power output of the sinisggnetron
during precpersaticnn! set-up procedures.

The high-power side of the coupler

feeds into a ferrite isolator which in turm feeds a waveguide-to-coaxial tranSition.

From this transition the RF is ccuducted by RG-9 coaxial cable through

the missile pressure bulkhead to the hora antennas at the rear of the Sedstore
guidance section.
The signal is nexe transaitted to the 3round receiving station where it
is amplified, demdulacted, and displayed oo a high-speed oscilloscope.

The in-

ftomsation is permanently recorded by photograshing the oscrlioscope trace with
a moving-fila cavers.
