Project 6.4 - Determination of Characteristics of Airborne Flush

Mounte? Antennas and Photo Tubcs for Yield Determination
at Extended Ground-to-Air Ranges ~ A. J. Waters

ORTooTIVves
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 an? amplitude characteristics of the
low frequency electromagnetic radiation at various ground-to-air ranges.
Ta determine the temporal ani intensity characteristics of visible
raiiation at various ground-to-air ranges.
To determine the effects of ambient conditions upon the satisfactory.
moasurement of the parameters specified in items 1 and 2 above.

fiducial antennes
whip antenna
synchronizer
photoheais

2 scope camcras
l sequence camera
1 recorder

2 DuMont Scopes (1 a dual beam, 1 a single beam)

TRAN yTaTe
Signal is receivel by antenna fed through an amplifier and then to
the scope.

The signal is then photcsraphed.

directly to the recorder.

Photohead output is let

The sequence camera photorraphs the blast

directly for use in correlation of previous data.

Distinee was approx=

imately 62 miles.
BUSTS

Signal

was received and recorded on both antennas.

No photohead

data was obtained because there was a restrictive filter (1%) placed over
the photohead and there also was a rain storm between the burst and the
