REMARKS
with legend on ditto
1. During the post war years, the Komet remote control system was
developed at MVD Special Object No 14 in Moscow. Technical details
on the Komet remote control system included the followings
a. The B-side of the receiver unit which received the beams reflected
by the target had a sensitivity of up to 98 db. About 3 db were
required by the selector tuning apparatus. During the laboratory
test, the amplification obtained by all units was more than -90 db
which exceeded the required specifications.
b. The mixer detector was protected against overloading by means of
motor driven damping discs in the wave guide forward of the B mixer.
Other ways to solve this problem were being considered.
c. Both receiver units were equipped with one mutual oscillator. The
,klystrons used were Soviet made American types and products of the
Oberapreewerk in Berlin-Obersohoeneweide.
d. Soviet produced si]j icon crystal diodes which were rather good in
quality were used as mixer diodes with the unit. Continuous
experiments were made with other types of diodes, but no information
was obtained on these activities.
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 me/so while the I.F.
amplifier of the B-side was a six-stage unit with cascade input
and series-tuned circuits with and I.F. of 40 mos. The band width
was 2.5 me/s and the sensitivity about V. The 6AG7 type tubes
used in the beginning were later replaced by Soviet tubes which
were about equal to the 6 AK5.

f. The B-antenna rotated at 75 cycles. The synchronization of the
A-side was first effectei by "switched" impulses and then for
a while by phase modulation of the impulse series which
simplified the system. The modulation frequency was 30 e/s and
the phase modulation 120%. The synchronization'of the B-part
was effected by mechanical coupling with the a.henna motor.
g. The ring modulator which had first been used with the phase
demodulator was replaced by two polarized Siemens type telegraph
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 A to part B could be effected
by any adjustable voltage, produce4 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 considered. Detailed work on this problem w$s to be
started during or after the practical experiments.
k. Komet 1 and 2 differed essentially in their 'electric units.
The Komet 3 was only simplified by the omission of some details
and showed some improvements. For experimental purposes, the
Komet 3 guide system was converted from pursuit curve to: lead
system. 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
English types.
in. The central impulse generator unit was equipped with a quartz
sine wave generator from which the switching and key impulses
deducted. No multivibrators were installed.
controlled;
were
n. Measuring instruments for 1-cm wave lengths were not yet available
at the institute, but were to be supplied in the summer 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 mother aircraft of 900 km/h and a accordingly higher speed of the
missile.
at Special Object No 14, it appeared that work on t e
same or a closely related project was being continued.
