Earth terminal measurement system maintenance manual
Abstract
The manual describes the equipment and maintenance procedures to support the earth terminal measurement system developed by the National Bureau of Standards for making measurements of earth terminal and satellite parameters such as figure of merit (G/T), antenna gain relative to a reproducible reference level, ratio of carrier power to the operating noise temperature (C/kT), and satellite effective isotropic radiated power. System equipment specifications, site setup instructions, equipment theory of operation, troubleshooting and maintenance are included. Neither measurement theory nor measurement operating procedures are described in the Earth Terminal Measurement System-Operation Manual.
