S-X 34-meter conversion receiver and microwave performance
Abstract
The S-X 34-meter conversion provides for upgrading a subnet of three stations to a 34-meter antenna aperture and adding X-band receive capability. This subnet will consist of DSSs 12, 42, and 61. Implementation of DSS 12 was completed in October 1978. A description of the conversion as applied to the antenna microwave and receiver subsystems is given. Performance requirements and test results are included.
