During the post war years,rthe Komet remote control syste!? was
developed at MID Special sect No 14 in Moscow. Technical details
on the Komet remote control system included the following:
a. The B-side of the receiver unit which received the booms reflected
by the target had a s itivity of up to 98 db. About 3 db were
required by the selecttar, tuning apparatus. During the laboratory
test, the amplifioatioi obtained by all units was more than -90 db
which exceeded the required specifications.
b. The mixer detector wasprotected against overloading by means of
motor driven damping 4scs in the wave guide forward of the B mixer.
Other ways to solve this problem were being considered.
a. Both receiver units were equipped with one mutual oscillator. The
:lystrons used were Soiriet made American types and products of the
Oberspreewerk in Berl-Obersohoeneweide.
d. Soviet produced siljcOn crystal diodes which were rather good in
quality were used as mxer diodes with the unit. Continuous
experiments were made th other types of diodes, but no information
was obtained on these Bativities.
e. The I.F. amplifier of the A-side was a four-stage unit with band
filters and operated with an I.F. of 40 mo/s, while the I.F.
amplifier of the B-sidO was a six-stage unit with oascade input
and series-tuned circuits with anJ I.F. of 40 ma/s. The band width
was 2.5 mo/s and the asitivity about 4Y. The 6AG7 type tubes
used in the beginning ;ere later replaced by Soviet tubes which
were about equal to the 6 1X5.

f. The B-antenna rotated at 75 cycles. The synchronization of the
a-side was first effected by "switched" impulses and then for
a while by phase modulation of the impulse series which
simplified the system. .he modulation frequency was 30 c/s and
the phase modulation 20%. The synchronization of the 13-part
was effected by mechanical coupling wiLh the antenna motor.
g. The ring modulator which had first been used with the phase
demodulator was replaced by two polarized Siemens type tele.raph
relays to effect commutation. The exiting coils were actuated
by the reference phase which.-in turn, was produced by the
phase modulation of the transmitter impulse series or by the
antenna motor respectively.
h. The ratio of input field intensity front to rear antenna required
to actuate the switch over from part i to part B could be effected
by any adjustable volta,e, produced by the rectification
(demodulation) of the selected impulses at about -38 db. No
information was available on any measures taken to prevent
disturbances of the B-side caused by direct reception from the
transmitter.
i. It was expected that, as a result of target reflection, deflected
polarization would cause disturbances, and countermeasures were
therefore c.msidered. Detailed work on this problem was to be
started during or after the practical experiments.
k. hornet 1 and 2 differed essentially in their electric units.
The ::omet 3 was only simplified by the omission of some details
and showed some improvements. b'or experimental purposes, the
!:omet 3 guide system was converted from L)ursuit cu ?ve to lead
syste:.. Development work on the Komet 1 was started in 1947/1948,
on Komet 2 in 1948/1949 and on Komet 3 in 1949/1950.
1. The magnetrons and impulse tubes used for the transmitter were
Soviet developments which were closely related to American,and
:relish types.
m. The central impulse generator unit was equipped with a quartz controlled'
sine wave generator from which the s,,+itc .ing and ;.ey impulses were
deducted. No multivibrators were installed.
n. .easurin~; instruments for 1-cm wave lengths were not yet available
at the institute, but were to be supplied in the ?,=Lier of 1951
together with component parts for 1-cm units.
2. As far as remembered, the system was designed for a basic speed of
the uot;ier aircraft of 900 km/h and a accordingly nigher speed of the
;missile.
