Book Synopsis Performance of a Microwave Antenna System in the Shoulder Region of a Blunt Reentry Nose Cone by : J. Leon Poirier
Download or read book Performance of a Microwave Antenna System in the Shoulder Region of a Blunt Reentry Nose Cone written by J. Leon Poirier and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the third AFCRL Trailblazer II reentry vehicle flight was to study the effects of shock ionized air on the performance of a microwave antenna system located in the expansion region of the nose cone. The system consisted of a pair of cavity-backed circumferential slot antennas mounted one behind the other on the conical afterbody of the reentry vehicle. During reentry, measurements of antenna impedance mismatch, interantenna coupling, signal attenuation and antenna pattern distortion were made. The data have been compared with computed values and found to be in good agreement. This experiment thus establishes the validity of the various microwave and flow field models and calculations used to obtain the theoretical values in the shoulder region of the reentry body. These results will now serve as a standard against which to compare the properties of various chemical alleviants which are being studied in other flights. (Author).
Book Synopsis Effects of the Reentry Plasma Sheath on Microwave Antenna Performance by : J. Leon Poirier
Download or read book Effects of the Reentry Plasma Sheath on Microwave Antenna Performance written by J. Leon Poirier and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Trailblazer II rocket was launched on 18 June 1967 from the NASA wallops Island (Va.) Rocket Test Facility to study the properties of the reentry plasma sheath and its effects on microwave antenna performance. The reentry payload consisted of three major subsystems: a plasma diagnostic system, an S- band transponder system, and an X-band telemetry system. The flight data yielded (1) measurements of the influence of the plasma on the radiation pattern distortion, signal attenuation, and impedance mismatch for an S-band slot antenna located at the stagnation point of the nose cone; (2) measurements of the plasma sheath effects on the interantenna coupling between two S-band antennas on the nose cone; and (3) determinations of the electron density profile and gradients in the boundary layer about the nose cone.
Book Synopsis Interpretation of Microwave Antenna Results from a Reentry Flight Test by : John F. Lennon
Download or read book Interpretation of Microwave Antenna Results from a Reentry Flight Test written by John F. Lennon and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of a series of reports on the Trailblazer II program. The particular aspect treated here involves the unmodified expansion-region plasma and its effect on an antenna located on the vehicle shoulder. This report describes some of the theoretical approaches used, discusses the levels of approximation involved, and shows the agreement between these various methods and the test data. The failure of a single set of assumptions to yield consistent agreement over a range of altitudes confirms the need to adopt flow models appropriate to the changing regimes encountered during reentry. One significant conclusion is that performance characteristics such as reflection and interantenna coupling which depend mostly on the level of peak electron density can be represented by simple plane wave, as well as by the more sophisticated slot antenna models. The latter approach, however, is necessary to describe propagation across the entire plasma sheath.

Book Synopsis A Simple Method of Simulating Motion and Plasma Induced Variations in the Attenuation of Signals Transmitted from Reentry Vehicles by : J. L. Poirier
Download or read book A Simple Method of Simulating Motion and Plasma Induced Variations in the Attenuation of Signals Transmitted from Reentry Vehicles written by J. L. Poirier and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A simple method of simulating the variation in the amplitude of microwave signals from rocket-borne transmitters is presented. The technique reproduces signal changes caused by vehicle motion as well as those induced by plasma effects. The simulator uses a voltage controlled attenuator which is programmed to vary the output power of a test transmitter to produce the variations in signal amplitude which would be observed during a flight. An analog system which is suitable for variations of simple cyclical shape and a digital simulator which can reproduce changes of any complexity are presented. Use of the simulator before flight allows the dynamic behavior of a microwave link to be determined, permits optimum receiver and recorder parameters to be selected, increases operator confidence, and enhances flight test reliability.

Book Synopsis Laboratory and Flight Results of the Microstrip Plasma Probe by : Nicholas V. Karas
Download or read book Laboratory and Flight Results of the Microstrip Plasma Probe written by Nicholas V. Karas and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The microstrip plasma probe, a new diagnostic tool for use in the investigation of ionized media, has been developed and successfully tested both in the laboratory and in an actual flight. It is flush mounted (therefore causes no aerodynamic disturbances); simple in geometric shape (therefore can be modified to fit curved surfaces and ruggedized to withstand shock and vibration); only a fraction of the operating wavelength in length (therefore saves on payload space); and operates with low power (therefore does not disturb the plasma which it is measuring). Experimental results, obtained from both the laboratory and from an actual flight, have been compared to theory and to experimental data from other probes. In both instances the results are close.
Book Synopsis Microwave Measurements of Flow Field Characteristics at the Stagnation Point of a Blunt Reentry Body by : Walter Rotman
Download or read book Microwave Measurements of Flow Field Characteristics at the Stagnation Point of a Blunt Reentry Body written by Walter Rotman and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plasma diagnostic sensors, including microwave antennas and electrostatic probes, are used to measure the flow fields at the stagnation point of a blunt nose cone during atmospheric reentry. The microwave measurements determine signal attenuation, reflection coefficient, and mutual antenna coupling as a function of altitude. The flight data are compared with calculations of flow field ionization and antenna performance, based upon three competitive flow field models. Excellent agreement is obtained at high altitudes only for that flow field model which includes both viscous interaction across the entire shock layer and vibrational nonequilibrium effects. These results are further confirmed by comparison with probe data and observations from another flight program. (Author).
Book Synopsis Design and Testing of a Chemical Injection System for Reentry Plasma Alleviation by : John F. Lennon
Download or read book Design and Testing of a Chemical Injection System for Reentry Plasma Alleviation written by John F. Lennon and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of injecting an electrophilic liquid into the ionized flow field surrounding a reentry vehicle was observed during the flight of a trailblazer 2 on 28 July 1972. The report describes the rationale used to initially screen candidate additives and the experimental evaluation that finally resulted in the selection of Freon 114B2 for operational use. Injection system design and preliminary testing are discussed, and the predicted and actual performance during flight are compared. Data from on-board antennas and electrostatic probes confirmed that the additive reduced the electron density and improved transmission. A number of factors characterizing the injection are presented as a basis for analyzing the flow-additive interaction. (Author).
Book Synopsis Effects of Different Flow Field Conditions on the High Power Transmission Properties of a Reentry Plasma by : Robert J. Papa
Download or read book Effects of Different Flow Field Conditions on the High Power Transmission Properties of a Reentry Plasma written by Robert J. Papa and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The computer program for calculating the high power microwave transmission coefficients of a chemically seeded reentry plasma has been described in two previous reports by the author. It has been explained how the computer code can optimize the amount of high power that can be transmitted from a reentry vehicle. The injection of electrophilic compounds into the reentry flow field can suppress the onset of antenna voltage breakdown, so that the transmitted power can be greatly increased. Using a half implicit-half explicit time integration scheme, the electron and ion transport equations coupled with Maxwell's equations are numerically integrated to determine the nonlinear reflection and transmission coefficients of a reentry plasma. Corresponding to the flow field conditions of a blunt nosed reentry vehicle (Trailblazer 2), graphs are presented to the electron density profile and plane wave reflection and transmission coefficients.
