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.

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 1 and 2 above,
INSTRUM™NTAT ION
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.
