Study of a dual frequency ranging experiment to be included in the COS B telecommunication package
Abstract
A breadboard model of the dual frequency ranging experiment was designed. A system tradeoff is given, and implications on the onboard VHF transmitter, branching, and the satellite's mission are considered. Design specifications and test results were described. Suggestions are made for eliminating a phase error introduced by the onboard equipment due to temperature and supply voltage variations.
