AIRBORNE RADAR-MONITORING SYSTEM
SECTION I
THEORY OF OPERATION
1-1. PURPOSE OF THE AIRBORNE RADAR-MONITORING SYSTEM.
The purpose of the Airborne Radar-Monitoring System is to provide
a continuous recording on magnetic tape of S-band, or X-band radar
signals present in the space through which the System-bearing air-
craft passes. This recording includes information concerning
pulse repetition frequency (prf), amplitude (i.e., signal strength),
time of recording and direction of origin (right side, or left side)
of the magnetically recorded S-band, or X-band radar signals.
1-2. GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION. See figures 1-land 1-2.
1-3. A complete monitoring System consists of a right-side an-
tenna assembly, a left-side antenna assembly, a right-side infor-
mation amplifier, a left-side information amplifier, an information
recorder and a vibrator d-c supply. The right- and left-side infor-
mation amplifiers, the information recorders and the vibrator .d-c
supply are identical whether S-band, or X-band transmissions are
being monitored. The right- and left-side antenna assemblies how-
ever, are both S-band, or both X-band antenna assemblies depend-
ing on whether S-band, or X-band transmissions are being moni-
tored.
1-4. Both the S-band and X-band antenna assemblied include a
suitable dish for gathering and focusing radar energy, a dipole and
reflector arrangement for directing radar energy toward an energy
guide, and a crystal detector which receives the radar (microwave)
energy from the guide and delivers to the information amplifiers a

voltage pulse whose prf, shape and amplitude corresponds to the
prf, shape and amplitude of the radar energy originally gathered,
or picked-up, by the dish.
1-5. The circuits of the right- and left-side information ampli-
fiers are identical and each performs the same function. Namely,
each receives the voltage-pulse output of the corresponding right-
or left-side antenna assembly and delivers to the information re-
corder a pulse whose prf is identical to the prf of the monitored
radar signal, whose amplitude is proportional to the amplitude of
the monitored radar signal and whose duration is sufficiently long
so that an indication of its prf and amplitude may be recorded on
magnetic tape. The output of the right-side information amplifier
is recorded on one track (i. e., along one strip) of a magnetic tape
and the output of the left-side information amplifier is simultan-
eously recorded on an adjacent, or parallel, track of the magnetic
tape.
1-6. The information recorder includes all of the circuits and
mechanisms necessary for recording and playing back the signals
which provide indication of prf, amplitude and time. As shown in
block diagram figure 1-2, these circuits include five time-refer-
ence oscillators whose signals may be recorded on a track parallel
to the tracks on' which the outputs of the right- and left-side infor-
mation amplifiers were recorded. These oscillators may be keyed
on and off at specific times; and, since tape speed is closely regu-
lated, the time during which specific radar signals were recorded
can be referenced to specific oscillator signals.
1-7. As the magnetic tape moves from the supply reel to the take-
up reel, it first moves past an erase head to insure that the tape

Is fully demagnetized before it moves on to the record head. Alter-
nating erase current for this purpose is supplied by the bias-and-
erase oscillator. Alternating-current bias for the record head
also originates from this oscillator. As the magnetic tape con-
tinues to move from the supply reel to the takeup reel, it passes
next to the record head and then to the playback head where the
magnetic energy stored on the three tracks of the magnetic tape
during recording is translated to electrical signals. The signals
stored on tracks 1, 2, and 3 are then coupled to separate play-
back amplifiers whose outputs may be re-recorded in any de-
sired form or viewed on a cathode-ray oscilloscope.
1-8, In addition to the airborne components of the system, a
ground-based monitor test set and a ground-based, commercially
available, re-record equipment is supplied. (See figures 1-3 and
1-4.) The monitor test set is specifically designed to provide
the means for checking the performance of the Airborne Radar-
Monitoring System, while the commercially available re-record
equipment is modified to make it suitable for re-recording the
information (track 1, track 2 and track 3 output of the playback
amplifiers) obtained by the airborne System,
1-9. Details of the antenna assembly (S-band and X-band), the
information amplifier, the information recorder, the vibrator
d-c supply, the test set, and the modification of the commercial
re-record equipment are described in this instruction guide.

1-11. ANTENNA ASSEMBLY.
1-12. GENERAL. The Airborne Radar-Monitoring System may
include either two S-band antenna assemblies* or two X-band an-
tenna assemblies. The principal functional elements of these
assemblies are the parabolic dish, the feeds and their associated
dipoles, and the crystal detector. The S-band antenna assembly
is illustrated and its principal functional elements are identified
in figure 1-5. Details of its feed are shown in figure 1-6. Corres-
ponding illustrations of the X-band antenna assembly are shown
in figures 1-6 and 1-7. The reasons for the particular construc-
tions shown and the differences between the two assemblies are
discussed following the functional description which applies equally
well to either of these microwave antenna assemblies.
1-13. PURPOSE OF THE ANTENNA ASSEMBLY. The purpose
of the antenna assembly, whether S-band, or X-band, is to pick
up pulses of microwave electromagnetic transmissions (radar
pulses)* concentrate and direct these transmissions through the
guide or feed; and deliver a voltage pulse to the information ampli-
fier whose prf, shape, and amplitude correspond to the pri, shape,
and amplitude of the radar pulses originally picked up by the an-
tenna assembly.
1-14. MICROWAVE ENERGY FLOW TO CRYSTAL DETECTOR. --
See figure 1-8,
1-15, It will be recalled that a voltage is induced and current will
flow on a conductor when the conductor lies in the path of a changing,
or moving electromagnetic field. Microwave electromagnetic
transmissions moving into the parabolic dish of the antenna assembly
induce voltages and corresponding surface currents on the metallic
surface of the dish. It will also be recalled that all currents have
an associated electromagnetic field, so that these surface currents
re-radiate, or reflect, an electromagnetic field from the rnetalic
surface of the dish. Since the dish is parabolic, the reflected
5

energy will converge and tend to concentrate at the focal point of
the parabola. This is the point at which the driver dipole of the
antenna assembly is located.
1-16. The microwave field energy, concentrated at the driver
dipole by the parabolic dishoinduces a voltage and a corresponding
current in the driver-dipole circuit. Here too, a microwave field
is associated with this current and the radiation pattern of the
dipole is such that microwave energy is directed into the feed and
in the opposite direction toward the reflector dipole. The energy
radiated away from the dish would be lost if the reflector dipole
were not used. The reflector dipole, however, is spaced, and
Its size is such, as to reflect this energy back toward the driver
dipole in such a phase as to reinforce the field at the driver dipole.
1-17. THE DISH STRUCTURES OF THE S-BAND AND THE X-
BAND ANTENNA ASSEMBLIES.
1-18. The parabolic dish of both the S-band and X-band antenna
assemblies are fabricated by coating the outside surface of several
layers of laminated glass cloth with aluminum and then coating
the aluminum with a resin coating, This method of fabrication
results in a sturdy, lightweight structure in which the aluminum
reflecting surface is protected from the elements.
1-19. The diameter of the S-band dish is 11.5 inches and the diam-
eter of the X-bancl dish is 6,2 inches. In the case of the X-band
dish, the diameter was determined by antenna gain and directivity
considerations, while in the case of the S-band dish the diameter
was determined principally by size and bulk considerations,
1-20. The reason for the dimensions chosen and the difference
between them becomes apparent when we consider the effect of
dish diameter on the operation of the antenna assembly. As the
diameter of a parabolic dish is increased, two things happen.
First, the gain of the antenna increases as the square of the diameter;
6

A Martmgcl:134 erailealiM21740205/23=111ARDPITRAMOR0041010,c1,170 1-1

and second, the antenna becomes more and more directional as
described by the expression
(k) wavelength
beamwidth -
dish diameter
where k is a constant which depends on the primary feed pattern
and feed structure. What this expression tells us is that if the
dish is used as a radiator of electromagnetic energy, the electro-
magnetic energy will be focused into a more narrow beam, or
cone, as the diameter of the parabolic dish is increased. This
also means that a large diameter dish, used as a receiver, or
pick-up, of electromagnetic energy must be pointed at the source
of electromagnetic radiations from within a comparatively narrow
cone in order to develop usable signal. This is another way of
saying that the parabolic dish becomes more directional with an
increase in dish diameter. If the dish diameter is increased too
far to achieve additional antenna gain, the cone within which the
antenna must "look at" the source will become so narrow that the
probability of detecting microwave energy is prohibitively low.
Thus, the X-band dish diameter represents a compromise be-
tween the desirability of a high antenna gain and the necessity for
a high probability of signal detection.
1-21. Because the wavelengths of signals in the S-band are about
three times greater thari the wavelengths of signals in the X-band,
the diameter of the S-band dish could have been considerably
larger than 11.5 inches for greater antenna gain without a proe
hibitive decrease in the probability of signal detection. In this
case, however, the size of the dish was limited by weight and
bulk considerations relative to the space available for the dish
on the aircraft bearing the System.
1-22. THE S-BAND FEED AND THE X-BAND FEED.
1-23. As indicated in figure 1-6 the S-band antenna assembly
uses a coaxial feed, while the X-band antenna assembly uses a

rectangular-waveguide feed. These types of feeds are used to
confine the microwave fields and prevent the fields from radiating
from the feed and being lost. At S-band frequencies, a coaxial
feed serves this purpose very well. At X-band frequencies, how-
ever, a coaxial feed of the same dimensions used for S-band is
not suitable, because at X-band frequencies a coaxial feed of
these dimensions would tend to transmit unwanted modes and re-
duce the energy transfer to the crystal detector. If the ratio of
the inner diameter of the outer conductor to the outer diameter
of the inner conductor of the coaxial feed were made larger, the
generation of unwanted modes could be avoided. However, if this
were done, the weight and bulk of the resulting coaxial feed would
exceed the weight and bulk of the rectangular-waveguide feed.
1-24. A waveguide feed is not used at S-band frequencies be-
cause the cross-sectional dimensions of a rectangular waveguide
must be in the order of one-half wavelength. At X-band frequencies
the width of the rectangular-waveguide feed is about one inch. This
Is a practical dimension in the light of the size and weight specifi-
cations for the System. At S-band frequencies, however, the width
of a rectangular-waveguide feed would have to be about 3 inches.
The added weight and bulk of a feed of this size would be prohibitive
for the intended application.
1-25. Tapering the end of the X-band waveguide feed toward the
dipoles provided a gradual transition from the impedance of the
dipoles to the impedance of the waveguide feed. This reduces the
generation of standing waves on the guide. Consequently, reflection
losses due to standing waves are reduced, and an optimum power
transfer from the dipoles to the crystal detector circuit is effected,
1-26. As indicated in figure 1-6, three things are done to reduce
the generation of standing waves in the S-band feed. First, the
inner conductor is tapered toward the adapter to affect a gradual
transition from the lower impedance of the coaxial guide to the

higher impedance of the adapter; second, a quarter-wave trans-
former is used to provide a closer match between the impedances
to the left and to the right of the transformer; and third, a coaxial
choke is included on the guide. This choke is about a quarter-
wavelength, open-ended section and presents a very high impedance
to the standing wave looking into the section from the dipole end of
the feed. A set screw is provided for fixing the choke in the best
position along the coaxial guide.
1-27. The coax adapter indicated in figure 1-6 provides the means
for connecting the S-band crystal holder and detector to the feed,
while the UG-135/U waveguide flange-joints serve the same pur-
pose for the X-band antenna assembly. The UG-135/U flange-joint
terminating the waveguide feed was modified by cutting away a part
of its thickness in order to reduce its weight.
1-28. THE S-BAND CRYSTAL DETECTOR.
1-29. The purpose of the antenna assembly S-band crystal de-
tector is the same as the purpose of a detector circuit at the lower
communications frequencies. That is, the S-band crystal detector
receives microwave r-f energy and delivers a voltage pulse whose
shape corresponds to the modulation envelope (in this case, a
pulse modulation envelope) of the r-f energy received. As indi-
cated in figure 1-9a, all of the elements of a typical low-frequency
detector circuit are included in the S-band detector circuit. The
broken...line capacitance indicated in figure 1-9a represents the
stray capacitance of the coaxial feed and the input capacitance of
the first stage of the information amplifier. This capacitance
serves the same purpose as the actual capacitor which is inserted
in a detector circuit at lower frequencies.
1-30. When the microwave electromagnetic field concentrated on
the driver dipole generates a signal on the dipole, the coaxial feed
confines the field associated with this signal and applies the signal
across the input impedance of the information amplifier and the

crystal rectifier in series. Electrons then flow from ground and
charge the stray capacitance to very nearly the peak value of the
positive half of the microwave r-f signal. This charge remains
substantially constant for the interval of the pulse of microwave
r-f energy because the stray capacitance cannot discharge through
the information amplifier input resistance to any appreciable ex-
tent before the microwave r-f signal again goes positive.
1-31. THE X-BAND CRYSTAL DETECTOR. The X-band crystal
detector serves the same purpose as the S-band crystal detector,
and here too, all of the elements of a typical low-frequency de-
tector circuit are included in a familiar circuit arrangement. (See
figure 1-9b.) When an X-band signal is picked up by the antenna
assembly, a signal develops between one side of the feed and the
side opposite. As indicated in figur e 1-9b, this signal is applied
across the crystal rectifier to produce envelope detection in the
same way as the pulse envelope is detected at S-band frequencies.

1-32. INFORMATION AMPLIFIER.
1-33. PURPOSE' OF THE INFORMATION AMPLIFIER. The pur-
pose of the information amplifier is to receive the output pulse of
the crystal detector and to deliver to the information recorder an
amplified pulse whose amplitude is proportional to the amplitude
of the crystal-detector output, whose repetition frequency is the
same as the repetition frequency of the crystal-detector output,
and whose duration is sufficiently long so that an indication of
amplitude and prf may be recorded on magnetic tape. (The follow-
ing discussion assumes that the duration of all crystal detector
output pulses is 0.25 microseconds, or greater).
1-34. BLOCK-DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION OF THE INFORMATION
AMPLIFIER.
1-35. As indicated in the information-amplifier portion of block
diagram figure 1-2, the information amplifier consists of five
functional circuits. These are the four-stage video amplifier,
the pulse-width limiter, the pulse stretcher, the stretch limiter
and the cathode-follower output. The four-stage video amplifier,
the pulse stretcher and the cathode-follower output constitute the
main amplifier channel, while the pulse-width limiter and the
stretch limiter act as control circuits for the main amplifier channel.
These circuits are identified on block diagram figure 1-2 and the
circuits corresponding to the blocks of figure 1-2 are identified on
schematic figure 1-11. The manner in which these circuits process
the pulse output of the crystal detector to produce the output having
the characteristics described above is illustrated by the idealized,
waveforms of time relationships figure 1-10.
1-36. The input to the four-stage video amplifier is indicated by
waveform 1 of figure 1-10. This signal is amplified by the four-
stage video amplifier and modified by the pulse-width limiter to
produce an output waveform (waveform 5) whose leading-edge pulse
is always 0.25 microseconds in duration, ?and whose amplitude is

proportional to the amplitude of the input to the four-stage video
amplifier.
1-37. The first stage of the four-stage video amplifier amplifies
and inverts the positive-pulse input from the crystal detector.
The negative-going pulse output (waveform 2) of this stage is
coupled to the control grid of the second stage of the four-stage
video amplifier and also through a cathode follower to a delay
line. (The cathode follower and delay line constitute the pulse-
width limiter circuit. ) The pulse output of the delay line has the
same polarity, amplitude and general waveform as the pulse which
couples directly to the grid of the second video amplifier, but the
output of the delay line occurs 0.25 microseconds after the pulse
is applied to its input.
1-38. The output of the delay line is coupled into the cathode cir-
cuit of the second video amplifier and is shown inverted in figure
1-10 in order to represent graphically the manner in which the
waveform at the grid and the waveform coupled into the cathode
circuit of the second video amplifier combine to produce the
effective signal indicated by waveform 4 of figure 1-10. (The
effective signal at the grid of a vacuum tube is the difference be-
tween the signal at the grid relative to ground and the signal at
the cathode relative to ground. ) The net effect of the remaining
two stages of the four-stage video amplifier is to produce an out-
put having the polarity indicated by waveform 5.
1-39. The output of the four-stage video amplifier is coupled into
the pulse-stretcher circuit and into the stretch-limiter circuit.
The leading-edge pulse of waveform 5 is the only part of waveform
5 which is actually used in the pulse-stretcher and in the stretch-
limiter circuits. This leading-edge pulse charges a capacitor in
the pulse-stretcher circuit and triggers a multivibrator in the
stretch-limiter circuit. Acting together, these circuits produce
an output corresponding to waveform 8.

1-40. The positive-going leading-edge pulse of waveform 5 rapidly
charges a capacitor (pulse-stretcher capacitor) in the pulse-stretcher
circuit through a low-impedance path which includes a crystal diode.
Since all pulse inputs from the crystal detector have been shortened
to 0.25 microseconds, charging voltage is applied to the pulse-
stretcher capacitor for this interval in all cases, regardless of the
duration of the radar pulses being monitored. Thus, the voltage
amplitude to which the pulse-stretcher capacitor can charge will
be independent of the duration of the pulse inputs from the crystal
detector, and will depend on the amplitude of the leading-edge pulse
of waveform 5 (i. e., on the amplitude of the radar pulses picked up
by the system).
1-41. The rapid charge of the pulse-stretcher capacitor starts
the generation of waveform 8. Once this capacitor is charged,
it can only discharge very slowly because the pulse-stretcher cir-
cuit is arranged so that the circuit to ground is a high impedance.
In this way, the voltage across the capacitor will remain substan-
tially constant until a low-impedance discharge path is provided to
ground.
1-42. The stretch-limiter circuit generates an output trigger
which causes a diode to conduct and provide a low-impedance dis-
charge path to ground for the pulse-stretcher capacitor. This
output trigger is generated by triggering a multivibrator whose
period is 150 microseconds (indicated by waveform 6) and then

AMPLIFIER. -- Sep figure 1-11.
1-45. FOUR-STAGE VIDEO AMPLIFIER.
1-46. Circuits designed to amplify equally well signals whose fre-
quencies range from low values up to several million cycles per
second are called video amplifiers. The four stage video ampli-
fier provides equal amplification for all frequencies up to about
three million cycles per second. Equal gain for all these fre-
quencies is necessary to faithfully amplify the 0.25 microsecond
pulse which is processed by the four-stage video amplifier.
1-47. The over-all gain of the four-stage video amplifier is about
105. That is, a on.e-tenth-volt, peak-to-peak pulse input at the grid
of V101 will result in a 10.5-volt peak-to-peak pulse output at the
cathode of V104. This over-all gain is produced by a stage gain
of 6 for V101, a gain of about 3 for V102 and a gain of about 6 from
the grid of V103 to the cathode of V104.
1-48. Generally speaking, video am.plifiers use comparatively
low-impedance plate loads and it will be noticed that the plate loads
of V101 and V102 have impedance values less than 6,000 ohms.
(The reason for the use of T101 in the plate circuit of V103 will be
explained below.)
1-49. With respect to the reason for the use of low-plate imped-
ances in video amplifiers, it should be remembered that the effective
impedance of a very large impedance shunted by a smaller impedance
is approximately equal to the smaller impedance. In addition, it

Approved For Release 2000SregglitDP75B00300R000100100001-1
should be recalled that the gain of an amplifier changes as the
impedance of its plate load changes, and that the impedance of
the stray capacitance which shunts the plate load goes down as
the frequency of the signal we are attempting to amplify goes up.
The effective impedance of the plate load will therefore remain
very nearly equal to the value of the plate-load resistor connected
into the plate circuit so long as the impedance of the stray capaci-
tance is much larger than the value of the plate-load resistor.
As long as this is true, the gain of the amplifier remains constant
as frequency goes up. With a continuing increase in frequency,
however, the impedance of the shunt capacitance goes down and
frequencies are reached where the impedance of the stray capaci-
tance is no longer much greater than the resistance of the plate
load. When these frequencies are reached, the gain of the ampli-
fier goes down rapidly and equal gain for frequencies above this
point is no longer possible. If the resistance of the plate load is
low, higher frequencies are reached before the plate-load resist-
ance and the impedance of the shunt capacitance are comparable.
Thus, a lower plate-load resistance provides equal gain for a
broader range of frequencies; and, although this lower plate-load
resistance provides a comparatively lower gain per stage, the
desired over-all gain can usually be achieved by adding stages.
1-50. The reason for using pulse transformer T101 in the plate
circuit of V103,, instead of a low-value resistor, has to do with
the fact that the information amplifier is required to process in-
put signals ranging from very low levels to very high levels.
Another way of saying this is to say that the information amplifier
must have a very wide dynamic range. Specifically, the intended
use of the information amplifier requires that it have a dynamic
range of about 46 decibels. At the upper limit of the dynamic
range, a 150-volt, peak-to-peak signal is required to drive cathode
follower V104. If, for example, a plate-load resistor of 4000 ohms
were used in the plate circuit of V103 (in place of T101), a current

swing of 37 milliamperes (150 volts/4000 ohms) would be required
to develop this 150-volt signal. Since it is necessary that this
signal be positive (because of the orientation of crystal diode CR102
in the pulse-stretcher circuit), it would also be necessary, under
these conditions, to drive the stage preceding the cathode follower
with a negative-going signal; and the quiescent, or no-signal, plate
current of V103 would have to be somewhat greater than 37 milli-
amperes. This is a larger quiescent current than the quiescent
current drawn by the entire information amplifier. The use of
T101 in the stage preceding the cathode, follower output of the four
stage video amplifier makes it possible to drive this stage with a
positive-going signal since the negative-going signal developed in
its plate circuit is inverted by T101. Thus, V103 may be biased
so that its quiescent plate current is only a few milliamperes and
efficiency and reliability are very much better than they would be
if a resistive load were used. In addition, the turns ratio of T101
is such that a voltage step up from one to two is provided from its
primary to its secondary.
1-51. The last three stages of the four-stage video amplifier are
operated at plus 220 volts in order to enable these stages to pro-
cess high-amplitude signals. All other stages are operated at 110
volts to keep the current drain on the d-c supply to a minimum and
achieve a higher efficiency.
1-52. The cathode impedances of the first three stages of the four
stage video amplifier are either un-bypassed, as in the case of
the cathode impedance of V101; or partially bypassed, as in the
case of the cathode impedances of V102 and V103. This is done to
reduce amplitude distortion and frequency distortion, and to pro-
vide grid-bias potentials as required.
1-53. Amplitude, or non-linear, distortion results from the fact
that the plate current of a vacuum tube does not change in pre-
cisely a linear fashion with a changing grid signal. This will result

in the generation of .a wave shape in the plate circuit which is a
somewhat distorted version of the wave shape applied to the grid.
in other words, frequencies are generated in the plate circuit
which were not applied to the grid. The un-bypassed cathode re-
sistors of the four-stage video amplifier reduce amplitude distor-
tion (i. e., the generation of unwanted frequencies in the plate cir-
cuits) by developing signals at these frequencies across these re-
sistors in such a phase as to tend to suppress their generation in
the plate circuits. Further, these un-bypassed cathode imped-
ances (R104 and the output impedance of cathode-follower V106
which is common to the cathode circuit of V102) make the opera-
tion of the four-stage video amplifier less dependent on changes
in tube characteristics, or on tube replacements. For example,
if the transconductance of a tube goes down due to tube aging, the
amount of feedback, or degenerative signal, coupled to the grid,
goes down and the tendency of the stage gain to go down (due to
the decreased transconductance) is reduced. However, a decrease
in the transconductance of cathode follower V106 will cause the
gain of V102 to decrease. This will happen because the output
impedance of V106, which is common to the cathode impedance
of V102, goes up with a decrease in transconductance so that a
larger than normal negative feedback results and reduces the gain
of V102.
1-54. Resistor R110 is shunted by a large capacitor so that
practically no a-c signal develops across this part of the cathode
impedance and the d-c potential which develops across R110 is
used to establish grid bias for V102. Grid bias for V103 is estab-
lished by shunting R117 with a large capacitor, C112. Here, too,
the impedance of C112 is so low, even at very low frequencies, that
practically no a-c signal can develop across R117 and the d-c potential
which does develop is used to provide grid bias for this stage. Capaci-
tor C111, however, is sufficiently small so that, as frequency in-
creases, an a-c signal of diminishing magnitude is developed at the

cathode of V103. Thus, less inverse, or degenerative, feedback
develops as frequency increases with the result that this frequency-
discriminating type of inverse feedback tends to offset the high-
frequency attenuation due to stray capacitance and frequency dis-
tortion is reduced.
1-55. The fast current changes which occur in each stage of the
four-stage video amplifier tend to develop signal across the in-
ternal resistance of the vibrator d-c supply. This signal could
couple back into the video amplifiers in such a phase as to cause
oscillations, waveform distortions, or amplitude distortions. For
this reason R102, C101; R108, C103; R122, G109 are used to de-
couple the four stages from one another and thereby prevent these
undesired effects. The resistances provide a high-impedance d-c
path between the plate loads of each of the amplifiers; the capaci-
tors shunt to ground, or short circuit, a-c signals which tend to
couple between stages through the d-c supply. In addition, these
networks serve to decouple hum and noise generated within the
d-c supply from the amplifier stages,
1-56. A cathode follower output, V104, is used as the last stage
of the four-stage video amplifier to provide a low-impedance
source for driving the pulse-stretcher circuit. Grid bias for
cathode-follower V104 is obtained at the junction of R123 and R124,
through R118.
1-57. PULSE-WIDTH LIMITER.
1-58. The pulse-width limiter includes V106 and delay line DL101.
The amplified and inverted pulse input from the crystal detector
is coupled from the plate of V101 through C102 to the
grid of cathode follower V106. Cathode follower V106 provides a
low impedance source for coupling the amplified negative-going
pulse into DL101.

across the plus 110-volts supply to provide operating voltages for
V106. Resistor R142 and capacitor C123 serve as a decoupling
network. Plate voltage for V106 is obtained at the junction of R142
and R143, while grid voltage is obtained by connecting the junction
of R143 and R144 to the grid of V106. The voltage at the junction of
R143 and R144 is positive, but the current through V106 produces a
more positive voltage at the cathode of V106, thus establishing grid
bias.
1-60. Delay line DL101 may be considered to be a coil with a small
capacitor connected between each of its turns and ground. (The small
capacitors represent the capacitance which actually exists between the
turns of the coil and the capacitance between the coil and chassis.)
When a signal voltage is applied at one end of the delay line, each of
these small capacitors must charge through the inductance of the coil
which precedes it. For this reason, there is a delay before the signal
voltage applied at one end of the delay line appears at the opposite end.
Delay line DL101 is designed so that the signal coupled from cathode
follower V106 appears at its output 0. 25 microseconds after having
been applied to its input. (See waveforms 2 and 3 of figure 1-10.)
1-61, PULSE-STRETCHER,
1-62. The purpose of the pulse-stretcher circuit is to receive the
O. 25 microsecond pulse (the positive-going leading-edge pulse of
waveform 5) and to deliver a pulse 150 microseconds in duration to
the cathode-follower output. The amplitude of the 150-microsecond
output must be proportional to the amplitude of the 0. 25-microsecond
input, and its prf must be the same as the prf of the input.

1-63. Crystal rectifier CR102 is inserted in series with C116
across the video-amplifier output in such a way that electrons
flow from ground and charge C116 positively with respect to
ground each time the positive-going leading-edge pulse of the
video-amplifier output occurs. (The negative-going trailing-
edge pulse of the video-amplifier output has no effect on the
charge of C116 because CR102 will not conduct in the opposite
direction.) Since CR102 and R129 constitute a low-impedance
charge path in one direction, the charge on C116 builds up very
rapidly. In the opposite direction, however, CR102 presents a
very high back impedance so that the charge accumulated during
the 0.25-microsecond interval of the positive-going pulse tends
to remain substantially constant for 150 microseconds. When
the negative-going trigger output of the stretch limiter occurs at
the end of this interval (see waveform 7), diode VIII becomes
conductive and electrons flow from ground through Viii and dis-
charge C116. A pulse 125 volts in amplitude at the cathode of
V104 will charge Cl 16 to about 10 volts during the 0.25-micro-
second pulse interval and will produce a stretched-pulse output
at the cathode of V105 about nine volts in amplitude.
1-64. Resistors R127 and R128 constitute a voltage divider across
the plus 110 volts supply and provide an operating bias through R126
to the crystal rectifier, CR102. This is done because, in general,
silicon diodes do not start to conduct until a voltage of approxi-
mately 0.3 volt is applied. If CR102 were not biased in this way,
part of the signal applied would be lost.
1-65. Resistor R129 is inserted in series with CR102 to minimize
the effects of changes in diode impedance with changes in signal
amplitude. These impedance changes are appreciable when com-
pared to the impedance of CR102 and tend to make the amplitude
response of the pplse stretcher less linear. The insertion of R129
in series with CR102 effectively adds 3000 ohms to the impedance

percentage of the effective diode impedance (diode impedance plus

fore greatly reduced.
1-66. STRETCH LIMITER.
1-67. The stretch-limiter circuit includes V107, CR103, V108,
V109, V110 and V111. The stretch-limiter circuit receives the
output of the four-stage video amplifier and generates a trigger
which occurs 150 microseconds after the leading edge of the four-
stage video-amplifier output. This trigger output causes the dis-
charge of stretcher capacitor, C11,6.
1-68. The output of the four-stage video amplifier is amplified
and inverted by trigger amplifier, V107 and is coupled to crystal
diode CR103. Because of the way crystal diode CR103 is inserted
in the circuit, the positive-going trailing-edge pulse of the wave-
form (waveform 5 of figure 1-10, inverted and amplified) which
develops at the plate of V107 is eliminated. The remaining nega-
tive-going, leading-edge pulse is coupled through C129 and triggers
a one-shot cathode-coupled multivibrator consisting of V108 and
V109. If the positive-going trailing-edge pulse were not eliminated
by CR103, this pulse could trigger the multivibrator back to its
original state before it had passed through a complete, one-shot
cycle. (R146, C124 and R160, C131 are decoupling networks,
having the function described previously.)
1-69. Vacuum tube V109,.is the normally conducting half of the
multivibrator and V108 is the normally non-conducting half of the
multivibrator. Before the multivibrator is triggered, the voltage
at the plate of V109 is comparatively low. When the negative-
going leading-edge pulse couples through C129 and C130 to the
grid of V109, multivibrator action cuts off V109 and starts V108
conducting. This causes the voltage at the plate of V109 to rise
rapidly and remain at a high level for a time interval determined

by the R-C constant of C130, R157 and R159. The values of C130,
R157 and R159 are selected so that V109 remains cut off and V108
continues to conduct for 150 microseconds. At the end of this in-
terval, the rnultivibrator returns to its initial state with V108 cut
off and V109 once more conducting heavily. This is the stable
state for the mUltivibrator and the two halves of the multivibrator
remain in this condition until another negative-going pulse couples
through CR103 and causes the cycle to repeat. Thus, the leading-
edge of each 0.25-microsecond pulse results in the generation of
a pulse 150 microseconds in duration at the plate of V109.
1-70. The 150-microsecond pulse generated at the plate of V109
is coupled to a differentiating network consisting of C132, R165
and R166. The time constant of this network is made long enough
so that the stretch-limiter output trigger (see waveform 7 of
figure 1-10), which develops at the grid of V110 will cut off V110
for about 50 microseconds. Since V110 is normally conducting,
the cathode of diode V111 (connected to the cathode of V110) is
normally at a high positive potential with respect to its plate, and
V111 is therefore normally cut off. When the negative-going spike
of waveform 7 develops across R165 and R166, however, V110
cuts off and the voltage at its cathode falls to a low value. Diode
V111 can now conduct and electrons therefore find a low-imped-
ance path (through R168 and V111) to discharge stretcher capacitor
C116 rapidly, This action generates the trailing edge of the 150-
microsecond pulse-stretcher output.

a square-wave of current (corresponding to the 150-microsecond

the recording-head coil. The resistive impedance of R141 is
large in comparison with the inductive reactance of the coil so
that the equivalent impedance of the coil and R141 in series is pre-
dominantly resistive, and the current through this circuit will
therefore be in phase with, or follow closely, the 150 microsecond

tion.) Grid bias for V105 is obtained by connecting its grid to the

one edge of the magnetic tape as described in the preceding
paragraphs. In addition, the 1.0-kc reference oscillator also
provides the means for detecting and determining the extent of
net changes in record and playback tape speeds. These purposes
are discussed in the following paragraphs.
1-83. Any one of the five oscillators may be turned on and off at
specific times (the 1-kc oscillator may be keyed for zero or
partial output) corresponding to a specific time of the day and,
or, some specific event. In this way, an indication of the specific
time during which specific information was recorded is provided.
For example, assume that at 14:05 o'clock the 2. 3-kc oscillator
is keyed on for a few seconds and then keyed off. When the play-
back of this 2. 3-kc oscillator signal occurs, a time piece could
be set at 14:05 o'clock and all signals occurring thereafter would
have been recorded at the time indicated by the time piece.
This, of course, assumes that record and playback speeds are
constant and that any variations which might occur in these
speeds could be detected and measured. (The example given
above does not necessarily represent the actual method used.
The example is given merely to explain what is meant by "time
reference".)
1-84. In order to insure that tape-speed variations (which might
occur due to faulty operation of the tape-speed regulating circuits)
do not result in false indications of the time during which radar
signals were recorded, one of the five oscillators mentioned
above is a highly stable 1.0-kc, crystal-controlled oscillator
whose chief purpose is to provide an indication of the extent
of variations in tape speed. This oscillator is a highly stable,
crystal-controlled, transistor oscillator. While this oscillator
could be used for the same purpose as the other four oscillators
(conventional Wien Bridge oscillators), its chief purpose is to
provide a stable frequency standard by means of which net vari-
ations of tape speed, occurring during recording and during play-
back, may be determined and measured. That is, since the fre-

quency of oscillation of the crystal-controlled transistor oscillator
is known, and is highly stable, any variations in the frequency of
the playback of this oscillator output can be attributed to the net
effect of variations in recording and playback speed. This net
shift can be measured and the result of the measurement used to
calculate the net variation in recording and playback speed. In
this way, the time during which specific prf and amplitude infor-
mation was recorded may be accurately determined even if wide
net variations in record and playback speeds do occur. (The
effect of playback speed on recorded frequencies are commonly
observed when, for example, a commercial disk recorded at 45
rpm is accidentally played back at 78 rpm. When this happens,
recorded sounds play back at much higher frequencies than their
original recorded values with the result that the playback sounds
high-pitched, or "tinny", as well as sounding accelerated.)
Further, since this signal derived from the 1.0-kc oscillator is
?recorded on a track parallel to the track on which the radar sig-
nals are recorded, the number of cycles of this signal recorded
between radar pips gives indication of the time between pips, or
the pulse-repetition frequency of the radar pips.
1-85. In addition to the circuits and mechanisms necessary,for
recording the outputs of the right- and left-side information ampli-
fiers, and for recording the signals generated by,the five oscilla-
tors, the information recorder includes a transistor bias and erase
oscillator for supplying a bias signal to the record head; a tran-
sistor erase-signal source for supplying erase current to the erase
head; a three-track playback head; and three playback amplifiers '
(one for each of the three tracks) whose outputs may be coupled
to a ground-based cathode-ray oscilloscope for visual observation,
or coupled to a ground-based recorder for re-recording. Details
of these circuits and mechanisms are discussed in the following

1-87. THE WIEN BRIDGE OSCILLATORS.
1-88. The 1, 3-kc oscillator, the 1. 7-kc oscillator, the 2. 3-kc
oscillator and the 3. 0-kc oscillator circuits are identical except
for the R-C feedback network which determines their frequency
of oscillation, These oscillator circuits include the two halves
of the oscillator circuit, and an amplifier signal-output stage.
(This type of oscillator is given the name Wien Bridge, because
the two R-C feedback circuits which it uses are the same as the
R-C circuits used in an a-c measuring circuit known as the Wien
Bridge.)
1-89. The basic condition necessary to develop oscillations in a
vacuum-tube circuit is that a voltage be fed back (from an ampli-
fying and phase inverting circuit) to the grid of a tube in-phase
with the initial voltage at this point. Generally speaking, the
feedback network selected to perform this function is a frequency
discriminating network (one which does not offer the same imped-
ance to all frequencies) designed so that maximum feedback, and
zero phase shift occur at the frequency at which oscillations are
desired. If we consider the 3. 0-kc oscillator as an example, we
see that any random signal which develops at the grid of V701B
is amplified and inverted (phase-shifted through 180 degrees) by
this tube. The amplified and inverted signal is then coupled
through C704 to the grid of V701A. This stage again amplifies
and inverts the signal (phase-shifts it through an additional 180
degrees) so that the signal which develops at its plate is phase-
shifted a total of 360 degrees. In other words, the signal developed
at the plate of V701A is in phase with the original random signal
disturbance at the grid of V701B. The signal developed at the plate
of V701A is coupled back to the grid of V701B through C703 and the
network consisting of R702, C701, R701 and C702. This network

is a frequency discriminating network and, as indicated in fig-
ure 1-14a, the largest fraction (about 1/3) of the voltage developed
at the plate of V701B will be fed back at a frequency fo, where
1
fo = 27t,RC.
The R and C in this equation are the values of R702 and C701.
In addition, the feedback network produces zero Phase shift at
this same f frequency, so that there is the greatest tendency
for the circuit to oscillate at the frequency fo. The R and C of
the equation above are different for each of the four Wien Bridge
?
oscillators, and each combination of this R and C is such as to
produce oscillations at the frequency desired.
1-90. Figure 1-14a also indicates that fo is not sharply defined
and that the 'frequency of oscillations could shift about the point
fo. In order to reduce the frequency range over which oscilla-
tions might possibly occur, signal developed at the plate of V701A
Is also fed back to the cathode of V701B through C703, R705 and
R706. In this case, the feedback network is not frequency dis-
criminating since C703 presents practically the same impedance
to all frequencies in the range of interest. This means that the
same fraction of voltages at all frequencies in the range of inter-
est (a few hundred cycles either side of fo) are fed back to the
cathode of V701B. (See figure 1-14c.) While the voltage fed back
from the plate of V701A to the grid of V701B is a positive feed-
back voltage, the voltage fed back to the cathode of V701B from
the same point is a negative feedback voltage, because the voltage
Led back to the cathode subtracts from the voltage fed back to the
grid. This causes the voltage fed back to be above cutoff for only
a narrow range of frequencies around 10 (see figure 1-14d). In
this way the range over which oscillation can occur is greatly
limited.

1-91. Amplification of the signals generated by the Wien Bridge
oscillators is provided by one stage of audio amplification for each
oscillator (V702B, V704A, V702A and V704B). These four one
stage amplifiers are identical resistive plate-load audio amplifiers
with unbypassed cathode resistors to provide inverse feedback and
thereby to reduce amplitude (non-linear) distortion.
1-92. THE 1.0-KC REFERENCE OSCILLATOR.
1-93. The 1.0-kc reference oscillator is a highly stable (F_ 0.02%)
crystal-controlled transistor oscillator whose chief purpose is to
provide a stable frequency reference by means of which variations
in tape speed may be detected and their magnitude determined.
1-94. As in vacuum-tube oscillator circuits, transistor oscilla-
tor circuits provide for amplifying the oscillator signal, shifting
its phase through 360 degrees, and feeding the resulting signal
back from the output to the input in phase with the original signal.
As in vacuum tube circuits also, the signal fed back must be of
sufficient amplitude to sustain oscillations. Transistors Q701
and Q702 provide the signal amplification and phase inversion
required, while crystal Y701 inserted in the feedback connection
proclitces the frequency stability required. Transistor Q703
provides oscillator signal-output amplification.
1-95. The transistors used in this circuit are NPN-type
transistors connected in a common-emitter circuit arrangement.
When a signal is applied between base and ground of Q701, electron
flow away from the base increases with an increase in signal voltage
amplitude. Transistor action causes electron flow away from the
collector and through R774 to increase accordingly. The signal
voltage developed across R774 as a result of this current change
is therefore 180 degrees out of phase with the signal voltage origi-

nally applied at the base. Transistor Q702 again inverts the signal
voltage developed across R774, with the result that the signal voltage
developed across coil L705 is in phase with the signal originally
applied at the base. This signal is applied to Y701 and causes it to
vibrate and generate a signal at the 1.0-kc frequency for which it
was cut.
1-96. The circuit constants of the oscillator are such that the
transistors are driven from cutoff to saturation on the positive
and negative halves of each cycle so that a square wave at 1.0 kc
is generated. The parallel resonant circuit consisting of L705,
C732 and C733, however, reduces the gain of the second stage of
the transistor oscillator to negligible values for all sine-wave
frequency components of the square wave but the 1. 0-kc fundamental
sine-wave frequency component to which the parallel resonant
circuit is tuned.
1-97. The resistor R778 is in series with the comparatively low
input impedance of Q703 to prevent the input impedance of Q703
from loading the oscillator and stopping oscillations.
1-97A.. The output of the 1. 0-kc oscillator is connected through pin A
of J703 to pin D of J702, and is also connected through pin A of J703
and R786 to pin U of J7020 When pin D of J702 is keyed to ground the
output of the 1.0-kc oscillator is keyed off completely, and when
pin Ti of J702 is keyed to ground the output of the 1.0-kc oscillator
is decreased approximately 8 db.
1-98. THE 20, 5-KC BIAS-AND-ERASE OSCILLATOR AND ERASE-
SIGNA.L SOURCE.
1-99. The purpose of the 20.5-kc 'bias-and-erase oscillator is to
generate the alternating-current signal required to bias the tracks
1, 2 and 3 heads of the record head and to erase magnetic-tape
residual noise before the tape passes on to the record head. Alter-
nating current is supplied to the erase head through erase-signal
source, Q706,

360 degrees phase inversion and positive feedback required to
sustain oscillations in the resonant circuit.
1-101. The resonant frequency signal developed at the junction
of C744 and C745 is applied to the emitter of Q705 and causes
electron flow through L703 in such a phase as to sustain oscilla-
tions in the resonant circuit.
1-102. A low-impedance oscillator-signal output is provided
by Q704. A low-pass filter network consisting of L701, C740
and C741 is inserted at the output of this transistor amplifier to
help eliminate sine-wave distortion due to high-frequency har-
monics. inductance L702 is included in the emitter circuit of
Q704 to provide a high-impedance alternating-current circuit
across which large alternating-current signals can develop; and
at the same time, across which negligible direct-current potential
drop can occur.
1-103. The sine-wave output from the low-pass filter circuit is
applied to the erase head through C749 and Q706 and to the record
heads for tracks 1, 2 and 3 through a series resistor and capaci-
tor. Capacitors are included in the circuits coupling to these
heads in order to block the d-c component of the bias and erase
signal. To reduce loading of the bias-and-erase oscillator by the
record heads, R797, R799 and R801 are inserted in series with
the coils of these heads. Resistors R798# R803 and R805 are in-
cluded in the ground return of the record heads to provide an im-
pedance across which a voltage proportional to the current through
the heads can develop, Measurement of this voltage therefore
gives indication of the current through the heads.

referred to as a ring head, The gap between the poles of the erase
head is of sufficient length so that tracks 1, 2 and 3 of the m.agnetic

tape (the entire tape) are subjected to the magnetic field generated
in the gap by the alternating erase current.
1-106. The tape passes across the erase head first as it moves
from the supply reel to the takeup reel. The purpose of the erase
head is to remove any magnetization which might have been induced
on the tape from 'stray magnetic fields. This erase process is
necessary because the magnetization induced by stray fields would
play back with the recorded signals and obscure these signals.
This is another way of saying that the erase process provides an
improved signal-to-noise ratio for the played-back signals.
1-107. Although magnetic tapes can be erased by means of a
direct current, this method of erase leaves the tape strongly
magnetized in one direction and variations in the strength of this
magnetization constitute noise in themselves. Alternating-current
erasing on the other hand reduces magnetization to a value suffi-
ciently close to zero so that the noise due to the small residual
magnetization is negligible. Briefly, this method of erasing con-
sists of alternately driving the magnetization of the tape to satur-
ation first in one direction, then in the opposite direction. These
alternations are repeated many times as the tape passes through
the alternating magnetic field of the erase-head gap. The end re-
sult is that the residual magnetization of the tape is reduced to .a
value substantially close to zero.
1-108. A qualitative description (i. e., a word description) of
how and why .a-.c erase works is extremely complex, but the pro-
cess may be visualized in concrete terms by imagining a long tray
containing many small bar magnets whose orientation is not com-
pletely random so that varying magnetization exists along its
length. This varying magnetization is analogous to the residual
noise magnetization of the tape before a-c erase. Now, if the
tray is shifted alternately from right to left about a central position,
the orientation of the small magnets in the tray will become more

and more random. After the tray has been shifted a number of
times, the orientation of the magnets will become more and more
random until finally, the varying magnetization which originally
existed along the length of the tray is reduced to a value very
close to zero. This is the effect which the alternating magnetic
field produced by the a-c erase current has on the small particles
of magnetic materials which make up the recording elements of
the tape.
1-109. RECORD HEAD.
1-110. The record head includes three separate ring-head struc-
tures PU702-A, PU702-B and PU702-C. Ring head P11702-A is
used to record the oscillator, signals on track 1 of the magnetic
tape; ring head PU702-B is used to record the signal output of the
left-side information amplifier on track 2 of the magnetic tape;
and ring head PU702-C is used to record the signal output of the
right-side information amplifier on track 3 of the magnetic tape.
1-111. The transfer characteristic of a magnetic recording medium
describes the manner in which the magnetization of the medium
changes with signal. A typical transfer-characteristic curve of
magnetic recording tape is shown in figure 1-15. This curve indi-
cates that the magnetization remaining on the tape (remanent flux)
after it has passed the recording head does not change in proportion
to the magnetizing current. This means that in the absence of a
method for straightening the curve, the signal stored on the tape
In the form of a magnetic field will be a poor duplication of the
signal current applied to the coil of the recording head.
1-112. Alternating-current biasing of the three ring heads of the
recording head causes the transfer characteristic of the magnetic
tape to become more linear, in a manner indicated by the dotted
line curve of figure 1-15. This method of a-c biasing, or of mixing

frequency field of the signal current, has been investigated by many
specialists in the field of magnetic phenomena and several explana-
tions have been suggested. All are very complex and these will not '
be repeated here. Suffice it to say, however, that the magnetic
field produced on the tape by the signal current is much more nearly
proportional to the signal current when a-c biasing is used.
1-113. While d-c biasing may also be used to make the transfer
characteristic of the recording medium more linear, this method
has the disadvantage of reducing the signal-to-noise ratio of the re-
cording as discussed in paragraph 1-107, above.
1-114. PLAYBACK HEAD.
1-115. The playback head of the information recorder includes
three ring heads, P13703-A, P13703-B and PU703-C. As the tape
moves past the separate ring gaps of these ring heads, ring head.
PU703-A generates an electrical signal corresponding to the mag-
netic field stored on track 1 of the magnetic tape; ring head PU703-B
generates an electrical signal corresponding to the magnetic field
stored on track 2 of the magnetic tape; and ring head P13703-C gen-
erates an electrical signal which corresponds to the magnetic field
stored on track 3 of the magnetic tape.
1-116. In the recording process, the ring gap width of the re-
cording ring heads has comparatively small 'effect on the linear
conversion of electrical energy to the magnetic energy stored on
the tape during the recording process. This is true because the
recording process occurs at the trailing edge of the recording ring-
head gaps. It is the definition of this edge rather than the gap
width which is of primary importance in the recording process.
In the playback process, however, the gap width of the playback
head limits the high-frequency response of the signal which plays
back. The effect of gap width on the shape of the signal played
back is discussed below.

1-117. In the case of the playback of the pure sine-wave oscillator
signals recorded on track 1, playback produces an accurate repro-
duction of the recorded sine-wave shape. This is because the volt-
age induced in a playback head is proportional to the rate of change
of flux coupling through the playback head as the tape passes the
gap. In the case of a sine-wave playback, this rate of change is
sinusoidal, and the voltage induced on the playback head is therefore
also sinusoidal. In the case of the playback of the 150-microsecond
pulses recorded on tracks 2 and 3, however, the shape of the signal
played back is a highly distorted version of the pulses actually re-
corded on tracks 2 and 3. This is because the rate of change of
flux, in the case of playback of a square wave, does not describe
a square wave identical to the recorded square wave. Although the
shape of the playback signal is distorted in these cases, the ampli-
tude and prf of the recorded pulses is well preserved, and since
we are not interested in the accurate reproduction of these pulses,
but rather in the preservation of the prf and amplitude information
which they contain, pulse shape distortion is of no consequence.
1-118. EFFECTS OF THE PLAYBACK-HEAD GAP ON PULSE
PLAYBACK.
1-119. The length of the playback-head gap largely determines
the magnetomotive force which cuts through the playback head
from the recording tape. When the length of tape over which one
of the frequency components of the signal is recorded is equal to
the playback-head gap width, both edges of the playback-head gap
are riding on points of equal magnetomotive potential, and as a;
consequence, no magnetomotive force is generated for this fre-
quency. This is true for all frequencies for which the gap width
is an integral multiple of the recorded wavelength (i. e., the length
of tape over which one cycle is recorded). The function which
describes the playback losses in decibles (gap losses), due to these
factors, can be expressed in terms of the length of the playback-
head gap and the wavelength of the frequency components of the

1-120. Figure 1-16a shows the frequency response of an ideal
playback head" of gap length 6. Without the gap losses described
by the equation above and its associated plot, the voltage output
of an ideal playback head would rise in a linear fashion with fre-
quency (i.e., inversely with wavelength). As shown in figure 1-16b,
this type of response rises in a straight line at a rate of 6 db per
octave. When the theoretical gap loss curve is subtracted from the
ideal straight-line characteristic, the curve of figure 1-16c is ob-
tained. Although this curve is highly idealized, its shape is
approached by the shape of the frequency response curves of actual
playback heads. For example, the curve of figure 1-16c shows
the straight-line segment at the lower frequencies where wave-
lengths are appreciably greater than the length of the playback-
head gap; the curve shows the turnover, or fall in frequency re-
sponse, as the frequencies increase and wavelengths approach the
length of the playback-head gap; and the curve shows the null points
which occur at all frequencies whose wavelengths are integral multi-
ples of the gap lengths.
1-121. The effect of playback-head frequency discrimination on
the shape of the pulse output is shown graphically in figure 1-17.
In this figure, the length of the pulse to be reproduced, the gap
length and the resulting output of the playback head are directly
related. Since the tape speed is 2.25 inches per second, and the
recorded-pulse duration is 150 microseconds, the pulse signals
from the right- and left-side information amplifiers are recorded
over 0.3 X 10-3 inches of tape. As the section of tape over which
the pulse has been recorded enters the playback-head gap, the

the playback head, rises in a linear fashion. This linear rise
continues until the length of tape over which the pulse is recorded
spans the gap. At this point, the flux density within the gap can
no longer increase, and the flux curve of figure 1-17 flattens Out.
The flux curve remains flat until the trailing edge of the pulse
enters the gap. ,At this time the flux density within the gap de-
creases, because the length of tape over which the pulse was re-
corded is leaving the gap, and now the flux coupling through the
playback head decreases in a linear fashion. Since the voltage
Induced on the playback head is proportional to the rate of change
of flux, the voltage induced on the playback head ideally has the
waveshape indicated in figure 1-17. Actually, however, because
of the frequency distortion effects described earlier, the play-
back-head output takes the general form shown in the referenced
figure.
1-122. PLAYBACK AMPLIFIERS FOR TRACK 1, TRACK 2,
AND TRACK 3. The playback amplifiers for track 1, track 2,
and track 3 receive the signal outputs of the three separate ring
heads (PU703-A, PU703-B, PU703-C) of playback head PU703,
amplify these signals and provide cathode-follower, low-impedance
coupling to the re-record or signal-display equipment. These
amplifiers consist of conventional R-C coupled stages whose band-
pass characteristics are sufficiently broad to preserve the de-
sired amplitude and pri information. (A plot of prf versus play-
back amplitude is shown in figure 1-18.) Filter network C755,
R815, C754 and R816 is included to reduce the ripple component
of the d-c supply voltage and to provide decoupling. This circuit
is arranged so that extra filtering and decoupling is provided for
the first two stages of the playback amplifiers where the signal
is at a comparatively low level.

information recorder are block diagrammed in figure 1-12. De-
tails of the tape-speed control circuits are shown in figure 1-13,
1-125. The purpose of the mechanisms and tape-speed control
circuits of the information recorder is to transport the magnetic
recording tape at a regulated speed of 2.25 inches per second,
from the supply reel, past the erase head, the record head and
the playback head, and thence to the takeup reel.
1-126. In order for the tape speed to remain at a constant value,
it is necessary for the speed of the supply-reel drive motor to in-
crease as the tape reels out. Simultaneously, it is necessary for
the speed of the takeup-reel drive motor to decrease as it takes.
up the magnetic tape. This regulated change of drive-motor speeds
is necessary because as the supply reel lets out tape, the diameter
of the tape remaining on the reel decreases, while the diameter of
the tape on the takeup reel increases as the takeup reel takes up
the tape. If the drive-motor speeds were constant and not regu-
lated to a suitable rate of change accordingly, the supply reel would
reel out less and less tape for each revolution of the supply-reel
drive motor, while the takeup reel would take up more and more
tape for each revolution of the takeup-reel drive motor, Obviously,
this speed relationship would cause the magnetic tape to snap.
1-127. In addition to regulating the speed of the drive motors so
that their speed changes at a suitable rate, the capstan-drive
motor must be regulated to a fixed speed suited to the desired
tape speed. The .governed capstan-drive motor pulls the magnetic
tape away from the supply reel, while the takeup reel reels up the
tape at the constant speed desired. As indicated in figure 1-13,
this type of motor (i. e., a governed motor) includes a switch
which opens when the speed of the motor increases above the de-
sired regulated speed and closes when the speed of the motor de-
creases below the desired regulated speed. When the governor
switch opens, R832 is inserted in series with the armature of the

governed capstan-drive motor. This reduces the armature current
and the motor slows down. When the governor switch closest R832
is shorted out, the armature current increases and the motor speeds
up. This action tends to keep the capstan-drive motor speed, and
therefore the tape speed, within close limits.
1-128. If the speed of the supply-reel drive motor and the takeup-
reel drive motor are not suited to the desired constant tape speeds
the force exerted by the tape on the tape-speed control arms causes
the arms to move in such a direction as to increase or decrease
the motor speeds as required.
1-129. It should be noted that the force exerted on the control arm
of the supply-reel drive-motor speed control is such as to decrease
the resistance in series with the supply-reel drive-motor armature
as the supply reel gives up tape. Correspondingly, the force exerted
on the control arm of the takeup-reel drive-motor speed control is
such as to increase the resistance in series with the armature of
the takeup-reel drive motor. These changes simultaneously speed
up the supply-reel drive motor and slow down the takeup-reel
drive motor at a rate suited to the speed at which the governed
capstan-drive motor pulls the tape away from the supply reel.
1-130. The tape-length capacity of the supply reel and the take-
up reel is about 6500 feet. This means recordings may be made
continuously for a period of about 9. 6 hours.
1-131. The over-all gear ratio of the tape supply and tape take-
up mechanisms, from worm gears to reel gears is 1626 to one.
This means that 1626 revolutions of the worm gears produce one
revolution of the reel gears. As the reels let out and take up
magnetic tape, the tape-speed control circuits change the motor
speeds between 5,000 and 15,000 revolutions per minute, while
the governed capstan-drive motor is regulated to a constant speed
of 5500 revolutions per minute. The spring-coupled shaft and fly-

1 133. GENERAL.
1-134. The vibrator d-c supply receives 28 volts from the air-
craft d-c generator and delivers plus 220 volts and plus 110 volts
to the two information-amplifier channels, and plus 220 volts to
the information recorder. The vibrator d-c supply consists of
four functional elements. These are the vibrator G401, the power
transformer T401, the rectifier circuit (CR401, CR402, CR403,
CR404) and the filter circuit. Vibrator G401 converts 28 volts dc
to an alternating potential so that a voltage step-up through power
transformer T401 is possible. The secondary of the power trans-
former is connected across the rectifier circuit in such a way
that the stepped-up alternating voltage developed across the secon-
dary causes a current to flow through the rectifier circuit and
into the filter circuit in one direction only. Thus, these func-
tional elements convert 28 volts dc to ac, step up the ac, rectify
the ac and filter the resultant to produce plus 220 volts and plus
110 volts at the output of the filter circuit. A. detail description
of the operation of the functional elements of the vibrator d-c
supply is given in the following paragraphs.
1-135. VIBRATOR.
1-136. When 28 volts dc is connected at J40/, the vibrator reed
is alternately attracted to one pole of a permanent magnet, and
then to the opposite pole of the permanent magnet. As the reed
vibrates -in this way, it alternately connects minus 28 volts to one
end of the power transformer, then to the opposite end of the power
transformer. If the initial position of the reed is as indicated in
figure 1-19, then initially minus 28 volts will be applied to terminal
1 of T401, while plus 28 volts is' permanently connected to the
center tap of T401. As the current through one half of the primary
rises toward the maximum value (determined by the d-c resistance
of this part of the primary and the voltage applied), the changing

magnetic field associated with the current rise induces a voltage
across the other half of the primary by auto-transformer action.
The phase of this voltage is such that the potential across the
entire primary (between terminals 1 and 3) will be about twice
the original voltage applied to half the primary. As indicated in
figure 1-19, this voltage is connected across the vibrator coil
and causes a current to flow which magnetically polarizes the
vibrator reed in such a way that it is attracted to the opposite
pole of the permanent magnet (before the current through this
half of the primary reaches its maximum value). When this hap-
pens, minus 28 volts is connected to the opposite end (terminal
3) of T401 so that the voltage induced between terminals 1 and 3
is opposite in polarity to what it was originally. The magnetic
polarity of the vibrator reed therefore reverses so that it is
attracted back to the opposite pole of the permanent magnet (its
original position) and the cycle described above repeats. This
cycle occurs about 400 times per second as determined by the
mechanical resonant frequency of the vibrator reed.
1-137. Buffer capacitor C401, connected across the contacts
of vibrator G401 and across the primary of T401, serves two
purposes. First, C401 serves to short circuit the high potential
which develops across the primary of T401 while the reed moves
between vibrator contacts 6 and 4; and second, C401 stores a
charge and supplies current to T401 during this interval. During
the time the reed is moving between contacts, the magnetic field
which had been building up when the reed was making contact,
collapses very rapidly. This induces a large voltage which would
arc across the contacts if C401 were not inserted. The value
of capacitors used in this function are generally chosen so as to
resonate with the inductance which they parallel (in this case the
primary of the power transformer and the vibrator coil).

1-138. If, for example, C401 should become open-circuited, the
only discharge path for the high potential would be between vibrator
contacts 4 and 6. These contacts would quickly burn under these
conditions and cause the reed to stick in one position. Should this
happen, the d-c current through one half of the T401 primary
would be limited only by the dc resistance of this part of the pri-
mary winding and the resulting current could burn out the power
transformer.
1-139. Capacitor C407 and C408 are included to reduce the high
frequency components of the voltage which develops across the
primary of the power transformer. Inductance L401 is included
to decouple the ac voltages developed in the vibrator circuit
from the 28-volts d-c line.
1-140. POWER TRANSFORMER, RECTIFIER AND FILTER
CIRCUIT. Vibrator action at the primary of power transformer
T401 provides a stepped-up alternating potential of about 350
volts (peak) between terminals 4 and 6 of its secondary. When
the potential developed across the secondary of T401 is such that
terminal 4 is negative, with respect to terminal 6, then electrons
move from terminal 4 to terminal 6 through any uninterrupted
circuit path available. When the polarity at the secondary of
T401 reverses, electrons move from terminal 6 to terminal 4
through any uninterrupted circuit path available. If we tempor-
arily omit the connection between the center tap (terminal 5) of
T401 and the junction of C402 and C403, and if we trace the unin-
terrupted electron paths for both polarity conditions at the second-
ary, we will find that the four rectifiers of the rectifier circuit
are arranged in the form of a standard bridge-rectifier circuit for
the plus 220-volts supply. Filtering for this supply is provided
by the combined capacitance of C402 and C403. Now, if we con-
sider the connection between the center tap of T401 and the junction
of C402 and C403, we will see that CR401 and CR403 are arranged

in the form of a standard full- wave rectifier circuit for the plus

1-19). Filtering for the plus 110-volts supply is provided by
C402 which is shared in common with the plus 220-volts filter
circuit. It will also be noted that the plus 110-volts supply oper-
ates independently of CR402, CR404, C403 and R404 (parts used
in the plus 220-volts supply).
1-141. Resistors R401 and R402 are inserted in series with the
rectifier circuit to limit the peak current surges through the cir-
cuit when power is first applied to the vibrator d-c supply.
1-142. Large capacitors have a large inductive reactance at
high frequencies due to the fact that they have a roll, or coil con-
struction. Capacitors C405 and C406 parallel the large filter
capacitors (C402 and C403) of the vibrator dc supply in order to
reduce the inductive effect of these large capacitors.

1-164, THYRATRON TRIGGER GENERATOR AND AMPLIFIER.
1-165. The thyratron trigger generator and amplifier generate
a negative trigger pulse which is supplied to the klystron modulator.
The negative trigger pulse appears at the plate of V603B.
1-166. The thyratron trigger generator is a relaxation oscillator.
The combination of grid bias and plate voltage applied to V604 is
such that V604 is normally nonconducting. During the time V604
is nonconducting, C628 is charged to the plate-supply voltage of
V604. When positive pulses (generated by differentiating the
output of the over-driven amplifier) are applied to the grid of
V604, the voltage at the grid of V604 is raised sufficiently to fire
the tube. When this occurs, C628 discharges through V604 and
R623, and the plate voltage of V604 falls rapidly to the level at
which V604 extinguishes, Resistors R621 and R623 limit the
grid-current and plate-current surge through V604 during the
discharge interval. When V604 extinguishes, the low-impedance
discharge path for the charge on C628 is open circuited and C628
recharges to the supply voltage. The charge remains fixed on
C628 until another trigger pulse is applied to the grid of V604.
At this time, the cycle described above is repeated. In-phase
feedback is applied from plate to cathode through R626 and C629

for grid-circuit high-frequency attenuation due to the input
capacitance of V603B.
1-168. KLYSTRON MODULATOR.
1-169. The klystron modulator receives the negative-trigger
output of V603B and generates a pulse whose duration may be
varied from 0.5 to 5.0 microseconds. This pulse is applied to
the S-band and X-band klystrons, and is used to modulate their
r-f output.
1-170. The klystron modulator is a one-shot multivibrator
circuit which includes V605A, normally conducting, and V605B,
normally nonconducting. The negative-trigger output of V603B
triggers the multivibrator and causes V605A to cut off and
V605B to conduct. The time required for each tube to return to
its initial condition is determined by the time required for the
charge on C636 to flow through R631, L602, and R632, When
C636 has discharged sufficiently, the grid of V605A is raised
above cut-off and the initial state of each tube is restored. This
one-shot-multivibrator action causes the generation of a positive
pulse at the plate of V605A and a corresponding negative pulse
at the plate of V605B. The duration of these pulses may be
adjusted by means of chassis-mounted-potentiometer R632.
Pulse durations of from 0.5 to 5.0 microseconds may be obtained.
1-171. The negative pulse generated at the plate of V605B is
used to control the operation of the S-band and X-band klystrons.
The pulse is applied to both the repellers of the 2K41 and 2K39
klystrons. The pulse also appears at VII). TEST SIG. jack J602.
When MODULATION switch S502 is in the CW position, the d-c

OUTPUT switch S503 determines which klystron is in operation
by applying filament power to either klystron. The S-band and
X-band carrier frequencies are determined by the mechanical
adjustment of the appropriate klystron. For pulse operation
the S-band klystron is electrically tuned for maximum output-
pulse amplitude, as indicated on the oscilloscope, by adjustment
of R561. For continuous-wave operation the S-band klystron is
electrically tuned for maximum power output, as indicated by
the power meter, by adjustment of R562. Similarly, for pulse
operation the X-band klystron is electrically tuned by the
adjustment of R557, and for continuous-wave operation by the
adjustment of R558.
1-174. Assemblies W501 and W504, the S-band and X-band
waveguides, couple the output of the klystrons to the front-panel
coaxial jacks 3504, S-BAND OUT, and J503, X-BAND OUT.
These waveguides are indicated in the block diagram of figure

1-178. S-BAND AND X-BAND ATTENUATORS. The central
element of the S-band and X-band attenuators consists of a vane
which is inserted into a slot in the respective S-band or X-band
waveguide. Insertion of the vanes is controlled by shafts which
extend through the front panel of the test set. Calibration markings
correspond to the position of the vanes, and a calibration chart is
provided to interpret the dial reading in terms of attenuation.
These controls are labeled S-BAND ATT. and X-BAND ATT.
Clockwise rotation of the control knob increases the amount of
attenuation by exposing a larger area of the vane to the electric
field within the wavegUide. The vane absorbs electrical energy
and dissipates it as heat, thereby limiting the energy delivered
to the output jack.
1-179. TEMPERATURE-COMPENSATED THERMISTOR BRIDGE.
1-180. The temperature-compensated thermistor bridge is used
to measure the power output of the S-band and X-band klystrons.
D-C power is applied to the bridge when MODULATION switch
S502A is in the CW position.
1-181. POWER ZERO SET R526 controls the d-c current through
the bridge elements, and is used to set M501 to zero with zero
power applied to J502. KLystron power is coupled through a coaxial
cable from either J504 or J503 to J502, thermistor RT502 changes
resistance and unbalances the bridge in proportion to the input
power, and M501 measures the degree of bridge unbalance,
Thermistor RT501 compensates for changes in bridge sensitivity
due to changes in ambient temperature. Thermistor RT503
compensates for those changes in total bridge current which are
due to ambient-temperature changes.

will cause the control grid of V508 to become more negative,
resulting in a decrease of current through V508 and, consequently,
a decrease in output voltage. An initial decrease in output voltage
will have an opposite effect, but with the same tendency to maintain
a nearly constant output. The cathode of V509 is maintained at a
constant voltage level with respect to the regulated output by the
action of V511. Variable-resistor R542 may be adjusted to set
the regulated output level. The output of half-wave rectifier V512

in this instruction guide, two tape transports are used. As
shown in figure 1-23, the information derived from the low-.
speed playback transport is amplified by one stage in the
playback channel, further amplified in the record channel,
and finally re-recorded using the high-speed record
transport. In order to incorporate the original amplifier
units into the re-record system, two types of modifications
were necessary: (1) circuit changes to provide simultaneous
playback and record, and (2) circuit changes to provide uni-
form pulse-reproduction characteristics. The circuit
changes were incorporated into the amplifiers using two
toggle switches to establish the additional signal paths. By
turning the switches off and interconnecting the units dif-
ferently, the recording equipment may be operated in the
conventional manner described in the accessory manual.
1-221. It will be seen in figure 1-23 that the re-record
system employs three tape tracks and three amplifiers to
process the data recorded on the original tape. The
amplifier complement consists of a "master" and two
"slave" amplifier units. Except for biasing and primary
power requirements, the three amplifier circuits are

amplifier units is supplied through the master amplifier
unit (see figure 1 of the accessory manual). The fuse in this
circuit, F402, has been changed from a three-ampere fuse
to a five-ampere fuse. The larger fuse is used because
both the low-speed playback transport and the high-speed
record transport draw current through this fuse when the
re-record system is in operation. To supply line voltage
to the second tape transport, a standard power inter-
connecting cable (5759-1) was modified to include W1301.
The modified cable is shown in figure 1-24.
1-224. The amplifier units (5701R3-1 and 5701R3-3), shown
schematically in figures 1 and 12 of the accessory manual,
have been modified as shown in figure 1-26 of this

units are designated by the 400 series of call-outs (C401,
R401, etc ), while the components added to the amplifier by
the modification are designated by the 1300 series of call-
outs (C1301, R1301, etc.). In a modified amplifier unit,
the signal derived from a playback head of the low-speed
playback transport appears across the primary of T404
(see figure 1-26). The signal developed across the secondary
of T404 is amplified by V405, and is applied to PLAYBACK
LEVEL potentiometer R438. In the modified amplifier unit,
the signal is also applied to voltage divider R1301-R1302,
where it is attenuated, and is then applied to the grid of
V401 through S1301. The signal is amplified, and is finally
fed to the corresponding record head of the high-speed
record transport, where re-recording is accomplished at a
tape speed of 7.5 inches-per-second.

1-225. MODIFICATION OF THE ORIGINAL AMPLIFIER
UNITS TO PROVIDE UNIFORM PULSE-
REPRODUCTION CHARACTERISTICS.
1-226. If a recording system is to reproduce information
faithfully, all, of the frequency components contained in
the original information must be amplified or attenuated
by the same amount. Furthermore, all of the frequency
components must be delayed by the same time interval,
in order to maintain their relative phase. Stated in the
usual way: ?the frequency-response curve must be "flat"
and the phase-vs-frequency curve must be "linear". To
achieve a flat frequency-response curve in a magnetic-
recording system, compensation must be made for basic
limitations of the system (paragraphs 1-119 and 1-120).
The over-all system is made flat by emphasizing certain
frequencies in the recording and playback amplifiers.
Frequency compensation effected in the recording ampli-
fier is called "pre-emphasis", while frequency compensa-
tion introduced by the playback amplifier is called
"post-emphasis".
1-227. The reproduction of pulse information requires a
system capable of reproducing the frequency represented
by the pulse repetition frequency (1st harmonic), as well
as reproducing multiples of the basic frequency (higher-
order harmonics). In addition, the phase relationship of
the harmonics must be maintained for accurate pulse
reproduction. Using an ideal system (one having flat
frequency-response and linear phase-vs-frequency
characteristics over an unlimited frequency range), the

corrected by employing suitable integrating circuits.
However, since there is a limit to the frequency range of
a practical tape-recording system, the reproduction of
high-frequency pulses may be poor, even though low-frequency
pulses are reproduced adequately. The compromise in pulse
reproduction characteristics, dictated by the limitations of a
practical recording system, require further deviations from
the compensation curves which would produce the flatest
frequency response curve. Therefore, the airborne informa-
tion recorder and the ground-based re-record equipment
employs pre-emphasis and post-emphasis curves which do
not match the curves of figure 1-16.
1-228. It is the ultimate objective of the airborne and ground-
based equipment to reproduce the relative amplitudes of
Intercepted signals, regardless of the pulse repetition fre-
quencies involved. This end result is achieved within the
prf range of 300 to 3000 pps, but some pulse distortion is
introduced. Although pulse distortion varies with prf, the
peak output voltage is nearly constant. This faithful repro-
duction of pulse amplitudes is achieved by compensating for
the deficiencies of the recording and playback processes.
The compensation sequence is as follows:
a. The original pulse data is recorded on the tape
using an amplifier having the frequency-response
characteristic shown in figure 1-27(a).
b The original data recording is then played back on
the low-speed playback transport, using an amplifier with
the response characteristics shown in figure 1-27(b). This
response curve was obtained by modifying the input stage
(V405) of the amplifier-unit playback channel. The modifi-
cation is described in paragraph 1-230.

of the accessory manual. The post-emphasis circuit is

e. The net result of the pre- and post-emphasis
circuits is shown in the frequency-response curve of
figure 1-27(e). This frequency-response correction, com-
bined with the frequency-response characteristics of the

duction of the original radar-pulse amplitudes and repetition
frequencies.

recorded data is finally played back at 7.5 inches-per-second
with the EQUALIZATION switch in the HIGH SPEED position.
This post-emphasis curve may be duplicated using the
standard equipment described in the accessory manual, or

in the HIGH SPEED position, high-frequency components of
the voltage appearing at the plate of V405 are applied across
the grid-return resistor (R430) through PLAYBACK
EQUALIZER potentiometer R435 and blocking capacitor C417.
The signal fed back to the grid-return resistor is predomi-
nantly high in frequency because the reactance of C417 is
small at these higher frequencies. Because the feed-back
voltage is 1800 out of phase with the signal acting at the
grid of V405, the over-all gain of V405 is reduced at the
higher frequencies.
1-230. The pre-emphasis curves have not been changed by
the modifications incorporated into the amplifier units.
Also, the post-emphasis curve of the modified amplifier
is similar to the one used in the original equipment when
the EQUALIZATION switch is in the HIGH SPEED position.
However, the feed-back circuit of V405 is changed when
the EQUALIZATION switch is in the LOW SPEED position,
thus providing post-emphasis curve (b). To effect the
necessary change in the feed-back circuit, EQUALIZATION
switch S402 was replaced by S1303. As shown in figure
1-26, when S1303 is in the LOW SPEED position the signal
voltage appearing at the plate of V405 is applied across the
grid-return resistor (R430) through R1303, S1303, S1302,
and C1302. Because the reactance of C1302 is low, even at
the lower frequencies, the gain of the stage is reduced
uniformly throughout the usable audio range. However, the
bypassing action of C1303 reduces the magnitude of the
negative feed-back voltage at the higher frequencies.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND PREFLIGHT TESTS
2-1. ,GENERAL. Supporting equipment for the Airborne Radar.
Monitoring System includes the ground-based test set and ground-
based re-record equipment. This section of the instruction guide
contains instructions applicable to the general use of the test set
as well as specific instructions for using the test set in testing
and calibrating the airborne equipment before flight. Although
the in-flight operation of the airborne equipment is beyond the
scope of this manual, sufficient detailed information is provided
to enable the technician to prepare the equipment for flight. Also.
the method of transferring the in-flight data recording to a more
usable medium is outlined in the paragraphs covering the
re-recording procedures.
2-2. TYPES OF PREFLIGHT TESTS.
2-3. In preparing the equipment for flight, two types of preflight
tests are required: (1) "preflight bench procedures" involving the
information recorder, and (2) "preflight ramp teste involving the
entire airborne system.
2-4. In the case of the preflight bench procedures, the information
recorder is removed from the aircraft, inspected and cleaned,
loaded with magnetic tape, and the tape-handling operation is checked.
2-5. After the preflight bench procedures have been performed, the
information recorder is reinstalled in the aircraft. The preflight
ramp tests are performed shortly before take-off. In performing
the ramp tests, the test set is used to test and calibrate the airborne
equipment.

a. Clean the five teflon tape guides.
b. Clean the jam roller and capstan.
CAUTION
Do not use carbon tetrachloride or acetone
for cleaning the erase, record, or playback
heads. These cleaning agents tend to
dissolve the plastic parts of the heads.
c. Open the head cover by pulling the plunger up, turning the
control level counterclockwise, and releasing the plunger. The
head cover will thus be locked open.
d. Use a lintless cloth, moistened with alcohol, to clean the
heads and tape guide pins. Avoid undue pressure on the heads,
and avoid scratching the head surfaces. For proper operation,
the tape surfaces must come into intimate contact with the heads.
Therefore, all red-oxide deposits must be removed by the
cleaning operation.
e. Energize the head demagnetizer (MP10143), and demagnetize
the erase, record, and playback heads. With the gap of the head
demagnetizer aligned with the gap of the head to be demagnetized,
place the demagnetizer near the head, but do not let the demagnetizer
come into contact with the head. To demagnetize the head, draw
the energized head demagnetizer slowly away from the head.
f. Complete the appropriate blanks of the Preflight Test-Data
Form,
2-15. LOADING THE INFORMATION RECORDER WITH MAGNETIC

crayon or grease pencil is suitable for marking the reels. Next,
it will be necessary to use the re-record tape-transport mechanism
to wind tape onto the SUPPLY reel. To wind tape onto the SUPPLY
reel proceed as follows:
a. Place the SUPPLY reel, gear-side down, on the right-hand
spindle of the re-record tape transport.
b. Place a reel of magnetic tape (MP 10145) on the left-hand
spindle of the re-record equipment.
c. The tape is to be wound onto the SUPPLY reel with the
smooth side of the tape toward the outside of the reel. It is
Important to use the tape guides of the re-record equipment to
obtain uniform winding. See the accessory manual for the procedure
to be used in operating the ground-based re-record equipment. Note
that the re-record equipment is used simply as a tape-handling
device in this operation, and nothing is to be recorded on the tape.
d. The amount of tape to be wound onto the reel is determined
by the recording-time requirements of the particular mission.
The time scale on the airborne reel can be used to estimate the
amount of tape required for a specific recording period.
The rmagnetic tape used with the airborne equipment
is fragile, and every precaution should be taken to
prevent breakage. However, if the tape becomes
broken, mend it with special splicing tape. After
completing the splice, be sure that no adhesive
material is exposed. Use the special splicing tape
ONLY; do NOT use ordinary cellophane tape for
splicing.
e. After winding the required amount of tape onto the SUPPLY
reel, install the reel on the reel-support shaft of the information
recorder? positioning the reel with the gear surface downward.

unit. Ground the frame of the information recorder, and
apply 28-volts dc to terminals A (positive) and B (negative)
of J702.
2-18. With the information recorder operating, check the
following tape-handling and tape-alignment characteristics:
a. The tape must pass between the flanges of the teflon
guide rollers without bending.
b. The tape must pass between the flanges of the reels
without touching the flanges.
c. The tape must pass between the guide pins of the head
assembly without bending.

2-20. PERFORMING THE PREFLIGHT RAMP TESTS.
2-21. GENERAL.
2-22. Paragraph 2-6 describes the purpose of the preflight ramp
tests. Paragraphs 2-25 through 2-36 contain step-by-step
instructions for performing the tests. These paragraphs assume
that the preflight bench procedures have been accomplished and
the information recorder is ready to be re-installed in the aircraft.
Furthermore, it is assumed that the remainder of the airborne
equipment has been installed in the aircraft in accordance with the
installation and interunit-cabling instructions of Section IV.
2-23. Before re-installing the information recorder, and before
interconnecting the airborne system with the test set and test-set
accessories for the preflight ramp tests, the technician must
become thoroughly familiar with the test set. The theory of
operation is described in paragraphs 1-143 through 1-193.
Paragraphs 2-52 through 2-63 describe the test-set operating
procedures for maintenance tests, as well as for preflight tests.
2-24. OBJECTIVES OF THE PREFLIGHT RAMP TESTS. The
steps outlined in paragraphs 2-25 through 2-36 are directed
toward the following objectives:

a. The test set is used to establish known signal levels at the
antennas of the Airborne Radar-Monitoring System. The signal
levels (in microwatts/square-meter) are established by adjusting
the power output of the test set for standard power levels.
b. The sensitivity of the antenna assemblies is determined by
measuring the antenna-output voltage with known signal levels
applied to the antennas. The sensitivity is noted on the Preflight
Test-Data Form.
c. With the known signal levels applied to the antennas, the
recording currents of the two channels are made equal.
d. Tones are recorded on the three tracks, and the recording
is monitored, thus providing an over-all system check.
e. Finally, the sensitivity of the Airborne Radar-Monitoring
System is calibrated by recording known signal levels. To provide
orientation reference, signals of different repetition rates are
recorded by the right-side and left-side tape tracks. The pulse
repetition frequencies of these "indexing" signals are noted on
the Preflight Test-Data Form. Recording the calibrating and
indexing signals completes the preflight testing and calibration of
the system.
2-25. SETTING UP THE EQUIPMENT.
2-26. The power switch supplying the airborne equipment must
be pre-set to the OFF position. Place the information recorder
in the aircraft, but do not connect the interunit cables until some
of the preflight tests have been performed.
2-27. Assemble the test set and accessory equipment near the
aircraft. Set up the equipment by proceeding as follows:
a. Locate the test set beneath the aircraft. To facilitate
measurements, the testset should be so oriented that the face of
the cathode-ray tube is shielded from ambient light. The test set
must not be located in strong magnetic fields, or false measure-
ments will be obtained.

e. Adjust the distance between the horn and receiving antenna
to five feet for the S band or X band. The distance is measured
from the driven element in the horn to the driven element of the
dish.
f. Orient the horn so that it radiates waves which are
polarized in the same plane as the receiving antenna.
Note
The right-hand and left-hand sides of the aircraft
are defined when facing the nose of the aircraft
from the pilot's position.
2-28. ESTABLISHING KNOWN SIGNAL LEVELS AT THE
ANTENNA. After the equipment has been set up in the manner
described, apply. power to the test set and proceed as follows:
a. Connect W510 between the S-BAND OUT (or X-BAND OUT)
jack and the PWR. MON. jack.
b. Adjust the S-band power (as measured at the end of W510)
to 16 milliwatts. For an antenna-to-horn spacing of five feet,
this represents a power of 4. 6 milliwatts-per-square-meter at
the antenna. (Adjust the X-band power to 60 milliwatts. For an
antenna-to-horn spacing of five feet, this represents a power of
17.7 milliwatts-per-square-meter.)
c. Pulse modulate the r-f output signal at 1000 pps.

d. Disconnect W510 from the PWR MON jack, and connect the
cable to the S-band (or X-band) horn.
Note
The accuracy of the power level applied to the
airborne antennas depends upon accurate
positioning and orientation of the test horn, as
well as upon accurate power measurements.
2-29. TESTING THE SENSITIVITY OF THE ANTENNA ASSEMBLIES.
With the known signal level applied to the horn, test the sensitivity
of the antennas by proceeding as follows:
a. Disconnect P101 from J101 of the right-side information
amplifier.
b. Use the test-set oscilloscope to measure the peak-to-peak
voltage appearing at P101. If the sensitivity of the antenna
assembly is normal, the voltage will be .125 volts, peak-to-peak,
plus or minus three db (.090 to .175 volts). If the voltage is
outside the specified range, the antenna crystal should be replaced,
and the test repeated.
c. Perform the test on the left-side antenna assembly.
d. Record the data in (2a) of the Preflight Test-Data Form.
2-30. EQUALIZING THE SENSITIVITY OF THE RIGHT-SIDE
AND LEFT-SIDE INFORMATION CHANNELS. After establishing
a known signal level at the right-side antenna, P101 is reconnected
to J101, and the recording current for track number three is
adjusted. The current is measured and the adjustment is made
with the recording-bias source disabled. The recording current
for the left-side channel (track number two) is adjusted in a
similar manner. To perform these tests and adjustments, proceed

SECTION III
MAINTENANCE DATA AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
3-1. GENERAL.
3-2. This section of the instruction guide contains trouble-isolation
procedures, specific instructions for the replacement and adjustment
of electrical and mechanical components, and preventative mainten-
ance data. The general maintenance procedures apply to the ground-
based test set and ground-based re-record equipment, as well as
to the airborne equipment.
3-3. Before attempting to isolate and correct trouble in the
equipment, a technician must become thoroughly familiar with the
theory of operation (Section I of this instruction guide).
3-4. DETECTING TROUBLE IN THE AIRBORNE OR GROUND-
BASED RE-RECORD EQUIPMENT. Any malfunction of the airborne
or ground-based units will be observed in one or more of the
following ways:
a. During the preflight bench procedures.
b. During the preflight ramp tests.
c. During the re-recording process.
d. During the comprehensive 50-hour bench tests.
3-5. DETECTING TROUBLE DURING THE PREFLIGHT BENCH
PROCEDURES. These procedures will detect mechanical or
electro-mechanical defects in the information recorder. In
general, troubles can be analyzed by close visual observation of
the operating sequence. Once the faulty component has been
isolated, it should be replaced or adjusted, following the procedures
outlined in paragraph 3-29.

3-6. DETECTING TROUBLE DURING THE PREFLIGHT RAMP
TESTS. These tests will detect electronic defects in the antennas,
information amplifiers, information recorder, and associated
cables. Performing the preflight tests in the sequence indicated
in Section II will assist in isolating the defective unit. Subsequent
bench tests will isolate the stage, and finally the component.
3-7. DETECTING TROUBLE DURING THE RE-RECORD
PROCESS. While re-recording the original data, the technician
should monitor the information to determine that it is continuous.
Intermittent operation of the airborne or ground-based equipment
may only be revealed by discontinuities of the final re-recorded
data.
3-8. DETECTING TROUBLE DURING THE COMPREHENSIVE
50-HOUR BENCH TESTS. These tests will detect marginal per-
formance characteristics which may not be revealed by the pre-
flight or re-recording procedures.
3-9. GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR ISOLATING TROUBLE.
3-10. TYPES OF TROUBLE. There are three basic types of
equipment troubles:
a. Equipment inoperative.
b. Intermittent operation.
C, Marginal performance.
These three types of trouble require slightly different isolation
techniques. The techniques used in isolating the basic types of
trouble apply to the airborne-equipment, ground-based re-record
equipment, and ground-based test set.
3-11. EQUIPMENT INOPERATIVE. In cases where the equipment
is found to be inoperative, isolate the trouble by proceeding as
follows:

a. Visual inspection. Be sure that all connectors are mated,
and that all components are in place. With power applied to the
equipment, be sure that the filaments of all tubes are lit,
b. Power-supply test. Measure all power supply voltages,
including the primary-power source. Where full-load voltages
are tabulated, defects in related units can influence the voltages
significantly.
c. Signal tracing. Apply a standard signal level to the input of
the system or unit, and compare the results of stage-by-stage
tests with tabulated performance data. The stage failing to yield
the proper output signal is assumed to be defective. At this point,
it is especially important to have a thorough understanding of the
theory of operation of the equipment, since circuits external to
the suspected stage may be responsible for malfunction of the
stage.
d. Component isolation. Measure the operating potentials of
the defective stage, and compare the results with the tabulated
data. By correlating this information with the schematic diagram
of the unit, it is possible to determine which group of components
maybe defective. With the equipment turned off, measure the
resistance of the components, and compare the results with the
tabulated data. In general, if the voltage appearing at the
electrode of a tube or transistor is abnormal, but the resistance
measurement is correct, the tube or transistor should be replaced.
If other components are suspected, they may have to be dis-
connected from the circuit to be tested.
3-12. INTERMITTENT OPERATION. In cases where the airborne
equipment has failed in flight, but operates satisfactorily using
the bench-test equipment, the interunit cabling system should be
removed from the aircraft and employed in the bench-test set-up.
Occasionally, an intermittent cable defect, which had caused

equipment failure in the aircraft, will not occur on the bench.
Intermittent cables and intermittent components are difficult to
isolate. The basic technique for locating intermittencies
involves the procedures outlined in paragraph 3-11. However,
the trouble must first be precipitated by physically manipulating
cables and components while observing the output of the equipment
on an oscilloscope. For maximum probability of trouble detection,
adjust the horizontal sweep of the oscilloscope for a slow writing
speed (10 cps). The technique of isolating intermittent operation
of the airborne equipment also applies to the ground-based
equipment.
3-13. MARGINAL PERFORMANCE. In cases where the perform-
ance of the equipment is marginal (low sensitivity, hum, noise,
poor frequency response; distortion, limited dynamic range),
more precise measurements must be made. The tests designed
to evaluate the performance of the equipment, along with a
tabulation of the normal-performance characteristics, are con-
tained in the paragraphs covering routine maintenance. The
procedures of paragraph 3-11 are followed in isolating the
defective stage or component.
3-14. EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR PERFORMING TESTS AND
ISOLATING TROUBLE.

3-20. GENERAL,
3-21. Performing the preflight tests in the sequence indicated in
Section II will automatically isolate a defective antenna diode. If
other units of the system do not perform satisfactorily, units Of
known performance may be substituted for defective units.
Replacement of antenna diodes and substitution of units are the only
types of trouble isolation and correction that should be effected at
advanced field locations,
3-22. A.s described in paragraph 3-11, the procedure for isolating
trouble in the airborne equipment involves signal tracing, voltage
measurements, and resistance measurements. The measure-
ments obtained using a standard bench test set-up are then
compared with waveforms, voltages, and resistances for a normal
equipment.
3-23. To isolate trouble in the airborne equipment, remove the
units from the aircraft, interconnect the units, apply power, and
proceed as follows:
a. Measure power-supply output voltage.
b. Apply a standard signal to the input of the information
amplifier.
c. Check waveforms, and perform voltage and resistance
measurements as required in the information amplifier.
d. Check waveforms, and perform voltage and resistance
measurements as required in the information recorder.

3-29. REPAIRING THE AIRBORNE EQUIPMENT.
3-30. GENERAL.
3-31. As described in paragraph 3-21, replacement of antenna
diodes and substitution of units are the only types of repairs that
should be attempted at advanced field locations.
3-32. If spare units are not available, the equipment must be
removed from the aircraft and must be bench tested to isolate
trouble. These bench tests must be performed at base facilities
where Unit-Essential Equipment is available.
3-33. If repairs cannot be accomplished at a base facility,
replacement units should be requisitioned, and the defective units
should be returned to the supply depot.
3-34. REPLACING PARTS.
3-35. After determining that an electronic part must be replaced,
obtain a replacement part which is identical physically, as well
as electrically. All of the replaceable electrical and mechanical
parts are listed by "MP" (maintenance part) numbers in Section. V
of this instruction guide.

3-36. When replacing electronic parts, observe the following:
a. Mount the replacement part in the same position as the
original part.
b. Make the length of the replacement-part leads equal to the
length of the leads on the original part.
c. When soldering replacement parts in place, use long-nose
pliers to hold the leads of the part. The pliers will conduct heat
away from the part.
d. After repairs have been effected, test the electrical per-
formance of the unit.
3-37. When replacing mechanical parts, mechanical alignment
and operation must be checked in accordance with paragraph
3-44.
3-38. In general, the equipment can be repaired by any mainten-
ance technician skilled in the repair of airborne equipment.
Therefore, only procedures and precautions which apply exclusively
to the units of the Airborne Radar-Monitoring System are outlined
in these paragraphs.
3-39. REPAIRING THE ANTENNA ASSEMBLIES.
a. If a diode is suspected to be faulty, do not use an ohmmeter
to test the diode, but substitute a new one. Because relatively low
voltages will damage the diodes, special handling precautions are
necessary. When handling a diode, always grasp both terminals
simultaneously. Do not touch the ceramic body of the diode, because
moisture will cause leakage at high frequencies. When placing a
diode into a crystal holder, maintain zero potential across the diode
terminals by holding a finger on the crystal holder while inserting
the diode.
b. Occasionally a faulty crystal holder may be responsible for
improper operation of the detector section of the antenna assembly.

In the case of the S-band antenna, be sure that the insulating
sleeve is in good condition, and be sure that the retaining spring
is not permanently compressed.
c. If either W1201 or W1204 is faulty, the high frequency
response or sensitivity of the airborne equipment may be affected.
Disconnect both ends of the cables, and measure the resistance
between the center conductors and ground. The resistance
should be greater than 10 megohms.
3-40. REPAIRING THE INFORMATION AMPLIFIERS.
a. All of the electrical components are mounted on a single
printed board. The tubes may be removed without removing the
board from the information-amplifier cove rplate. When it is
necessary to work with components mounted on the underside of
the board, remove the four screws holding the board to the cover,
and lay the board back in the direction of the connectors. Avoid
causing tension in the leads between the connectors and the
printed board.
b. After replacing components, perform the comprehensive
series of tests outlined in the paragraphs covering preventative
maintenance procedures. Adjust gain-compensation potentiometers
R802 and R804 using the procedures described in the preflight ramp
tests.
c. Select the value of R171 (300K to 390K) on the basis of negative
overshoot at the output of the information amplifier. At J101, apply a
peak.-to-peak signal level 30 to 36 db below 1 volt. Observe the
waveform of the output pulse appearing at J103. The negative overshoot
must be less than 15%.
d. Select the value of R/59 (3.3M to 4.7M) on the basis of pulse width
at the output of the information amplifier. At J101, apply a peak-to-peak
signal level of 150 millivolts, pulse width from 0.25 microseconds
to 10 microseconds. Observe the waveform of the output pulse

to-peak signal 36 db below I volt. Observe the waveform of the
output pulse appearing at J103. The multivibrator must stop
firing at input-signal levels below -36 db.
3-41. REPAIRING THE VIBRATOR DC SUPPLY. With the
exception of rectifiers CR401, CR402, CR403, and CR404, any
of the components may be replaced without removing the major
board assembly from the power-supply cover plate.
a. When replacing CR401, CR402, CR403 or CR404, remove
the three screws mounting the major board assembly, and lay the
board back in the direction of the connectors. Avoid causing
tension in the interconnecting wires.
b. Special precautions must be taken in replacing C404. It
is extremely important to observe the polarity of the capacitor
terminals when replacing this capacitor.
3-42. REPAIRING THE INFORMATION RECORDER, GENERAL.

d. If the scale reading is outside this range, adjust the set
screw (MP 10110) located on the motor-support bracket (MP 10648)
until the tension of the spring produces the specified scale reading.
3-47B. After replacing a jam-roller assembly, adjust the position
of the three locknuts on the plunger-linkage lead screw. Refer to
figure 5-11, and proceed as follows:
While adjusting the locknuts, keep the plunger
linkage from rotating by holding the flatted end
of the lead screw (MP 10728). Holding the
linkage at the sleeve (MP 10286) may result in
permanent deformation of the spring (MP 10756)
inside the linkage sleeve.
a. With the solenoid energized, position the locknut nearest
the flatted end of the lead-screw for a jam-roller (MP 10065)
force of 34 to 38 ounces on the surface of the shaft of the
capstan-drive assembly (MP 10050).
b. Position the middle locknut about one turn from the lever
assembly (MP 10354).
c. Position the third locknut about two turns from the linkage
sleeve.

the erase, record, or playback heads, demagnetize the heads
before attempting to use the recorder. The heads must also be
demagnetized if a tool comes in contact with the head assembly.
3-47D. If the erase, record, or playback heads are replaced,
mechanical alignment of the head(s) and associated guides is
required. (See figure 5-10.) Preliminary alignment is performed
by observing the relationship between the heads and the magnetic
tape, and final alignment is based upon the use of standard
alignment tape to optimize frequency-response characteristics.
3-47E. The following are preliminary head-alignment conditions
and procedures:
a. With the tape-guide bracket assemblies (MP 10034 and
MP 10035) aligned correctly, and with the head cover open, align
each head by sight so that the tape-contacting surface is parallel
with the teflon sleeves of the guide-pin assembly (MP 10670).
Preliminary alignment is satisfactory if the full width of the tape
is in contact with the head gaps, and if the gaps are completely
covered by the tape.
b. The above conditions may be fulfilled by adjusting the
two head-alignment screws provided for each head. The screws
are accessible from the underside of the head and head-cover
assembly.
When adjusting the head-alignment screws, avoid
scratching or denting the elastic surface of the
capstan-drive wheel.

3-47F. The final head-alignment procedure involves the
orientation of the head gaps so that they are at right angles
to the direction of tape travel. In the case of the record and
playback heads, correct head orientation provides optimum high-
frequency response characteristics. In the case of the erase
head, correct head orientation provides maximum signal-to-noise
ratio. Refer to figure 5-10, and proceed as follows:
a. Disable the source of bias and erase signals by removing
the printed-circuit board from the recorder.
b. Demagnetize the heads.
c. Load the recorder with standard alignment tape
(MP 10144).
d. Observe the output on a high-gain oscilloscope connected
to the playback head. Adjust the orientation of the gap of the
playback head (MP 10020) for optimum high-frequency output from
the three channels. The adjusting screw is located on the tape-
capstan side of the head, and is accessible from the top of the

TAPE SPEED
Two requirements must be fulfilled by the
tape-transport mechanism: (1) the average
speed of the capstan-drive wheel must be
6.51 R.P. S. (+2%, -4%), and (2) the
instantaneous deviation (flutter or wow)
must be no greater than 1.5%.
(1) The speed of the tape is checked by means
of the tape-drive capstan, using a strobo-
scopic lamp in conjunction with the pattern on
the capstan. If the speed is 2% high or 4% low,
adjustment is required. Adjust for correct
speed by turning off the information recorder,
removing the end cap from the capstan drive
motor, and adjusting the governor screw.
Note that the capstan pattern will appear
stationary for speeds that are related to the
correct speed. Also, although the pattern
can be made to appear stationary with a
stroboscopic lamp energized by a 60-cycle
source of power, special considerations are
required lithe stroboscopic lamp is operated
from power sources which are not 60 cycles-
per-second. The exact frequency of the line
voltage must be determined, and compensating
adjustments indicated in the lamp manual must
be made.
(2) The instantaneous variation of tape speed
Is checked by recording a 3000-cps tone on
the information recorder, and by playing back
the recording into a flutter meter, using the
ground-based re-record equipment as the
playback device. If the flutter is greater than
1.5%, adjustment is required. Flutter can
result from damaged or worn bearings and
surfaces associated with the capstan drive
motor, mechanical filter, capstan-drive
wheel, or jam roller.

3-54. SERVICING THE GROUND-BASED TEST SET. The
general principles of isolating trouble, outlined in the first
paragraphs of this section, are applicable to the test set. The
test set is shown schematically in figures 1-22A and 1-22B. The
test-set oscilloscope is described in the instruction manual
included with the equipment.
3-55. ISOLATING TROUBLE.
3-56. Before attempting to isolate trouble in the test set, the
maintenance technician must become thoroughly familiar with
the theory of operation (paragraphs 1-143 through 1-193).
3-57, The waveforms shown in figure 1-21 may be used to isolate
a defective stage. Before observing the waveforms, the test-set
controls must be preset as follows;
a. ON-OFF switch -- ON
b. MODULATION switch -- PULSE
c. REPETITION RATE control -- 1 K
The waveforms are observed using the oscilloscope probe, with
the negative lead of the probe connected to the test-set chassis.
3-58. Table 3-14 contains typical voltage and resistance data
which may be used for the purpose of isolating defective
components in the test set. The voltage and resistance
measurements are to be made under the conditions described
in the table.
Note
Table 3-14 contains nominal voltage and resistance
data, while the Inspection Data Sheets (included with
each test set) contain specific data. Changes in
component values are also noted on the Inspection

In addition to the equipment listed in Table 4-1, auxiliary
equipment is required to complete the installation. The
auxiliary equipment is not furnished under this contract, but,
is contained in the aircraft.
4-3. INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT IN THE AIRCRAFT.
4-4. GENERAL. The location of the information
amplifiers is determined by the location of the antenna
assemblies and by the length of coaxial cables W1201
and W1204. These cables must not be under tension, and
should be provided with a bend radius of about two inches.
The other units of the system may be installed in any
location which is free of strong magnetic fields. If the
remaining interconnecting cables supplied with the equipment
(W1202, W1203, and W1205) are used, the units of the
airborne system should be located in positions which will
allow sufficient cable slack for plug removal. (See the
interunit-cabling diagram of figure 4-1.) If other factors
dictate greater separation of the airborne units, longer
versions of W1202, W1203, or W1205 can be fabricated.
After the location of the units has been determined,
proceed with the installation as described in paragraphs
4-5,through 4-10. When installing the equipment, observe
the following general precautions:
a. Use lock-washers with all machine screws.
b. Be sure that the units make good electrical contact
with the surface on which they are mounted. It may be
necessary to scrape the paint from the bottom of the
information amplifiers and power supply to insure good
electrical contact.

4-5. INSTALLING THE S-BAND ANTENNA ASSEMBLIES.
An outline drawing of the S-band antenna assembly is shown
in figure 4-2. Four drilled-fillister-head 10-24 machine
screws, 1/2" long, are required to install the antennas.
The antennas are installed on the brackets mounted in the
aircraft. In installing the S-band antenna assemblies, the
dipole rods in front of the dish must be in a vertical
position (vertical polarization). After the four mounting
screws have been installed, they must be safety-wired in
place.
4-6. INSTALLING THE X-BAND ANTENNA ASSEMBLIES.
An outline drawing of the X-band antenna assembly is shown
in figure 4-3. Four drilled-fillister-head 10-24 machine
screws, 1/2" long, are required to install the antennas.
The antennas are installed on the brackets mounted in the
aircraft. In installing the X-band antenna assemblies, the
dipole rods in front of the dish are oriented at an angle of
45? with the vertical (45? polarization). After the four
mounting screws have been installed, they must be safety.
wired in place.
4-7. CHANGING ANTENNAS. Note that the antenna
mounting brackets hold the dishes in the following manner:
The plane of the dish periphery is parallel to the
centerline of the aircraft, but is oriented downward at an
angle of approximately four degrees. Do not attempt to
"straighten" the brackets to obtain perfectly vertical
orientation of the dishes. Note also that different antenna-
mounting brackets are used in mounting the antennas for
the different bands. If it is necessary to install antennas
for a different band, a different set of brackets will have to
be installed. The new brackets must be installed by a
competent airframe mechanic.

4-8. INSTALLING THE INFORMATION AMPLIFIERS. An
outline drawing of the information-amplifier assembly is
shown in figure 4-4. Four 6-32 machine screws, 3/8" long,
are required to install the information amplifiers on sub-
plates. The sub-plate may be fabricated in accordance with
the requirements of the particular installation, but must be
large enough to accommodate the bolts used in fastening
the sub-plates to the aircraft. Four 10-24 machine screws
are sufficient for mounting a sub-plate to the aircraft.
The information amplifiers may be mounted in any position
which will permit the coaxial cables to be connected to the
antennas. Care must be taken to prevent damaging the
connectors located on the top of the information amplifiers.
4-9. INSTALLING THE VIBRATOR D-C SUPPLY. An
outline drawing of the power-supply assembly is shown in
figure 4-5. As in the case of the information amplifiers,
sub-plate installation is used. Four 6-32 machine screws,
1/2" long, are required to install the power supply on the
sub-plate. The power supply may be mounted in any
convenient position. Again, care must be taken to prevent
damaging the connectors located on the top of the power
supply.
4-10. INSTALLING THE INFORMATION RECORDER. An
outline drawing of the information recorder is shown in
figure 4-6. The information recorder is installed in the
special rack mountod in the aircraft; no screws are
required. The unit is oriented so that the jacks are above

designated in figure 4-6. Use a nut, bolt, lock washer, and
bonding strap to ground the recorder chassis to the aircraft.
4-11. INTERCONNECTING THE UNITS. Interconnect the units of
the airborne equipment with the equipment installed in the aircraft
in accordance with the interunit-cabling diagram of figure 4-1.
Note that the left-side antenna, information amplifier, etc. , are
defined from the pilot's position, facing toward the front of the
aircraft. Route the cables in a manner which will keep them from
being damaged by other objects. Allow sufficient slack in the cables
so that there is no tension when the connectors are in place. Clamp
cables in position (except the coaxial cables) using nylon-lined
cable clamps. Lock the cable plugs in place using the facilities
provided on the plugs or units.
Do not apply power to the system until it has
been determined that the polarity of the power
supply voltage is correct. Test the polarity of
the voltages appearing on the junction-box jack
which mates with P1201. Pin .F must have a
potential of +28 volts with respect to pin E.
Applying voltage of reversed polarity will damage
the capacitors in the vibrator d-c supply.

SUPPLEMENTARY DATA SECTION
6-1. GENERAL.
6-2. This section of the instrqction guide contains data pertaining
to: (1) the information recorder printed-circuit-board test jig,
and (2) the heater-equipped metal top cover of the information
recorder.
6-3. INFORMATION RECORDER TEST JIG.
6-4. PURPOSE OF THE TEST JIG. The test jig provides a
convenient means for checking the power requirements and the
signal-generating and amplifying characteristics of the information-
recorder printed-circuit board.
6-5. EQUIPMENT USED WITH THE TEST JIG. When checking
the power requirements of the printed-circuit board, a 28-volt
d-c source and a vibrator d-c supply are used with the test jig.
When checking the signal generating and amplifying characteristics
of the printed-circuit board, the 28-volt d-c source, the vibrator
d-c supply, and an oscilloscope are used with the test jig.
6-6. The 28-volt d-c source is a standard facility required for
test and maintenance of the Airborne Radar-Monitoring System.
The vibrator d-c supply (MP10406) is a unit of the Airborne Radar-
Monitoring System. The oscilloscope (MP10218) and its associated
plug-in preamplifier (MP10148) are items of Unit Essential
Equipment,

front panel. The test jig applies d-c voltages to the printed-
circuit board, and applies to the oscilloscope those signals which
are generated and amplified by circuits of the board. The test
jig does not contain power or signal-generating sources, but
simply serves as a switching, calibrating, and metering device.
6-8. When checking power requirements, the power supplied
to circuits of the board by the 28-volt d-c source is indicated by
a voltmeter and an ammeter on the front panel of the test jig.
Similarly, power supplied by the 220-volt output of the vibrator
d-c supply is indicated by a voltmeter and an ammeter on the
front panel.
6- 9. When checking signal-generating characteristics, signals
generated by circuits of the board are displayed on the oscilloscope.
When checking amplifying characteristics, one of the signal-
generating circuits applies a calibrated signal to the amplifier
being checked, and the amplified signal is displayed on the
oscilloscope.
6-10. A circuit-selector control simultaneously applies voltage
to circuits of the board and connects circuit test points to the
oscilloscope. Other controls are provided to adjust the output
of the 28-volt d-c source, and to calibrate the signal applied to
the amplifiers.
6-11. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE TEST JIG. Figure 6-2
shows the schematic diagram of the test jig. The 28-volt d-c
source is applied to the test jig through P903. When circuit-
selector switch S901 is in the OFF position, the test jig, vibrator
d-c supply, and printed-circuit board are not connected to the
28-volt supply. When S901 is moved from the OFF position to any
of the labeled positions, K901 becomes energized. With K901
energized, the 28-volt source is applied to the vibrator d-c supply,

Approved For Release 2000/5ECREIDP75B00300R000100100001-1
to circuits of the printed-circuit board, and to PILOT DS90 1. Thus,
in all of the labeled positions except the OFF position, DS901 glows
when K901 is energized. In the unlabeled switch position (between
OFF and AMP 3), DS90 1 is connected to the 28-volt supply through
the back contacts of K901..
6-12. When. S901 is in a test position, the 28-volt d-c source is
applied to the vibrator d-c supply through P903, F902, the contacts
of K901, VOLTS ADJ R904, and P901. The d-c voltage which
appears on the moving contact of VOLTS ADJ R904 is applied to
the printed-circuit board under test through printed-circuit-
connector 3908. The fuse (F90 2),in series with the 28-volt supply
contains an indicator which glows when the fuse is open. The
amplitude of the 28-volt d-c source is controlled by VOLTS ADJ
R904, and is metered by +A VOLTS meter M904. The 28-volts
d-c source current is metered by +A CURRENT meter M903.
The terminals of M904 are connected to the front-panel terminals
labeled GND. (E902) and +A (E903).
6-13. When the S901 is in a test position, the 220-volt output of
the vibrator d-c supply is applied to the printed-circuit board

terminals is then used to observe the characteristics of the
voltages sampled.
6-15. When S901 is in the OSC. 4 1 position, the 1. 0-kc reference
oscillator output is sampled. Similarly, with S901 in the OSC. A 2,
OSC, 43, OSC. 4,_ and OSC.3,A 5 position, the 1. 3-kc, 1. 7-kc, 2. 3-kc,
and 3. 0-kc oscillator outputs are sampled. While any one of the above
five oscillator outputs is sampled, the remaining four outputs are
disabled.
6-16, When S901 is in the ERASE NORMAL position, the output
of the 20. 5-kc bias-and-erase oscillator is sampled at the erase
test point (ER), and the 1. 0-kc through 3. 0-kc oscillator outputs
are disabled. When S901 is in the ERASE BIAS position, the
20. 5--kc voltage across erase-head metering-resistor R796 (TP3)
is sampled, and the 1. 0-kc through 3. 0-kc oscillator outputs are
disabled. The parallel combination of R942 and L904 simulates the
erase-head load.

voltage across L903 (whicli simulates the track 1 record-head
impedance) and R798, with the 1. 0-kc through 3. 0-kc oscillators
disabled. In the R. H, - A 2 BIAS position, the 20. 5-kc and 1. 0-kc
voltage at TP6 is sampled, ?with the 1. 3-kc through 3. 0-kc
oscillators disabled. In the R.H. #2 NORM position, S901

and-erase oscillator output across resistor R911. Similarly, in
the SIG. #2 position, S901 samples the voltage across R909. ,In
each case the 1.0-kc through 3.0-kc oscillator outputs are disabled.
6-1:9. In the AMP #1 position, S901 connects the 28-volt d-c source
to the series-connected filaments of tubes designated V709 through
V714, and connects the vibrator dc supply 220-volt output to the
plates of tubes designated V709 through V714. While in this
position, S901 disables the outputs of the 1.3-kc through 3.0-kc
oscillators, and applies the output of the 1.0-kc oscillator to the
input of the track 1 playback amplifier through tile ATTEN. and
CALIB. controls. Also while in the AMP #1 position, S901
connects the output of the track 1 playback amplifier to the test-
jig output terminals. By adjusting the calibration and attenuation
controls, the technician operating the test jig may measure the gain
of the track 1 playback amplifier. Similarly, with S901 in the
AMP # 2 and AMP 3 positions, the outputs of the track 2 and track 3
playback amplifiers are sampled, respectively. Resistors R906,
R907, and R908 simulate the resistances of the playback heads.
With S902 in the CALIB. OUT 2V position, the 1.0-kc-oscillator
signal appears on the oscilloscope, and R914 may be adjusted to
provide a known signal level to the attenuator.

6-25. PURPOSE OF THE HEATER-EQUIPPED METAL TOP
COVER. Operation of the airborne information-recorder
mechanisms may be impaired by low-temperature environmental
conditions. A heater-equipped metal top cover may be used to
maintain a sufficiently high temperature within the recorder case.
6-26. DESCRIPTION OF THE HEATER-EQUIPPED METAL TOP
COVER. Figure 6-3 shows an information recorder with a heater-
equipped metal top cover, and a heater-equipped metal top cover
assembly. The metal top cover assembly includes two heaters,
a thermostatic switch, a connector, desiccant case assembly, and
wiring.
6-27. The heater-equipped metal top cover is used with a modified
interunit cable designated W1205-2. The unmodified interunit
cable is designated WI 205-J and is identical to the interunit cable
previously designated W1205. Figure 6-3 shows modified cable
W1205-2, which includes connector P710 and wiring for supplying
28 volts d-c to the heaters. Figure 6-5 shows the wiring to
connector P710.
6-28. Heaters HR701 and H11702 are connected in series to
provide a total of 50 watts heat dissi pation. The heater-circuit
schematic diagram of figure 6-5 shows the heater connections.
Thermostatic switch S701 opens when the temperature within the
recorder case exceeds 650 F. f 80 (180 C. 50) and closes when
the temperature falls below 50? F. 4- 50 (10? C. ? 3?).
