Project 6.4 - Determination of Characteristics of Airborne Flush Mounted
Antennas and Photo Tubes for Yicld Determination at Extended
Ground-to-Air Ranges - A.J. Waters

OBJECTIVES
To deterrine the effectiveness of flush mounted airborne antennas
and phototubes at various ground-to-air ranges in detecting characteristic
low frecuency electromagnetic radiation and visitle radiation, respectively.
To determine the temporal and emplitude characteristics of the low
frequency electromagnetic rediation at various ground-to-air ranges.
To determine the terporal and intensity characteristics of visible
radiation at vcrious ground-to-air ranges.
To determine the effects of ambient conditions upon the séetisfactory
measurement of the perameters srecified in the first two items.
INSTRUVENT/ TION

2 fiduciel antennas

2 scope cameras

1 synchronizer

1 sequence camera

2 photcheads

1 recorder

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

The signal is then photoeraphed.

directly to the recorder,

Photoheed output is led

The secuence camera photographs the blast directly

for use in correlation of previous deta.

Distance was approximately 62 miles.

RESULTS
Signals were received on both antennas.

However, because of improper

score settings, excessive hesh wes photorraphed along with signel on one
