R. F. testing of the third generation defense communication satellite
Abstract
The approach taken to test a completed DSCS communications satellite on a system level is described. Areas to be described are measuring RF isolation of separate communications subsystems and a test method which insures that one RF subsystem does not interfere with another. In addition, the method of complying with MIL-STD-1541 in the area of demonstrating safety of electroexplosive devices in an RF field is discussed.
