A Radio-Frequency Power Delivery System: Procedures for Error Analysis and Self-Calibration

Description: Abstract: An expression is developed for net power delivered to a load in terms of the indicated forward and reflected power and the system S-parameters and reflection coefficients. The dual directional coupler is treated as nonideal with power reflections assumed between all ports. The system itself is used to evaluate the major S-parameter terms in net power computation, and uncertainty in the computed power is derived from origins in the power meter readings and incompletely known S-paramete… more

A Coaxial Noise Standard for the 1 GHz to 12.4 GHz Frequency Range

Description: From introduction: This note describes the design and construction of a coaxial thermal noise standard. The standard is designed to operate at the boiling point of liquid nitrogen with a noise temperature accurate to t 1 K in the frequency range from 1 GHz to 12.4 GHz.

Automated Measurement of Frequency Response of Frequency-Modulated Generators Using the Bessel Null Method

Description: From abstract: This paper describes a Bessel null technique to measure the frequency response of a frequency-modulated rf carrier and a program to automate frequency response measurements of signal generators with output frequencies from 0.450 to 2000 MHz. The measurements obtained using this technique are more precise than those obtained by a highly trained technician using a manual system.

Approximate Models for Distributed-Parameter Heat-Transfer Systems

Description: Summary: The use of dimensionless-parameter frequency response diagrams to determine accuracies of lumped-parameter approximations is demonstrated by two examples: calculation of the heat flux at the surface of a semi-infinite solid due to temperature fluctuations of an adjacent fluid; and the response of a counterflow heat exchanger to inlet fluid temperature perturbations. Dimensionless system parameters make it possible to use general-purpose plots to find the error in particular approxima… more

The Detection of Short Circuits in Thermocouples by a Radio-Frequency Measurement of Inductance

Description: Abstract: "The development of a portable battery-operated instrument capable of detecting a short-circuit four or more inches from the hot junction of a five-foot-long thermocouple is described. The accuracy of measurement is inversely proportional to the length of the thermocouple and is not affected by changes in thermocouple temperature. A signal having a wave length much greater than the electrical length of the thermocouple is used to measure thermocouple inductance. The instrument consist… more

Present Status of the Bevatron R. F. System

Description: The general method of controlling the radio frequency for the full scale Bevatron will be the same as that used on the 1/4 scale machine. The details of course will be modified to meet the requirements of greater range, higher output voltage and closer tracking tolerances. In addition, there is the added complication introduced by the current ripple.

In-Core Instrumentation Development Program, Telemetering Transmitters for In-Core Power Monitoring Final Report

Description: Abstract: This technical report covers the development work conducted during a planned program with the U.s. Atomic Energy Commission, Contract AT(04-3-189, Project Agreement 22, directed toward the development of high temperature, nuclear radiation resistant, telemetering devices. The development program is devoted to: (1) investigation and selection of two possible telemetering devices, and electromechanical commutating switch and an AM oscillator employing TIMM circuit elements, (2) procurin… more
