Telemetering receiving system at the Air Force Missile Test Center

The receiving system used at the Missile Test Range in Florida and the West Indies is described. An over-all picture of the radio-telemetering ground receiving equipment is offered including the antennas, rf distribution facilities, and demodulation equipment. Several units of this system have been developed expressly for use at the Air Force Missile Test Center (AFMTC). The requirements leading to the design, along with the performance capabilities and operational utilization of the equipment are discussed. Some significant test results are outlined, and the current methods of testing the receiving system is presented.
