Project 6,4 ~ Determination of Characteristics of Airborne Flush Mounted

Antennas and Photo Tubes for Yield Determination at Extended
Ground-To-Air Ranges = Allan J, Waters

Objectives
To determine the effectiveness of flush mounted airborne antennas
and phototubes at various ground-to-air ranges in detecting characteristic

low frequency electromagnetic radiation and visible radiation, respectively.
To determine the temporal and amplitude characteristics of the low

frequency electromagnetic radiation at various ground-to-=air ranges. 2
To determine the temporal and intensity characteristics of visible

radiation at various ground-to-air ranges.
To determine the effects of ambient conditions upon the satisfactory
measurement of the parameters specified in items ] and 2 above,
Instrumentation
2 fiducial antennas

2 scope cameras

1 whip antenna

1 sequence camera

1 synchronizer

1 recorder

2 photoheads

2 DuMont Scopes (1 a dual beam, 1 a single beam)
Technique
Signal is received by antenna fed through an amplifier and then to
the scope.

The signal is then photographed.

directly to the recorder,

Photohead output is let

The sequence camera photographs the blast

directly for use in correlation of previous data.
