Block coding for space communications.

Block coded telemetry systems design for phase coherent space communication employing double conversion superheterodyne phase locked receivers

Lindsey, W. C.↗

Telemetry receiver

Communications system maintains phase lock of weak telemetry signals with a minimal expenditure of power and bandwidth. An estimate of the frequency variation as a function of time is used to achieve coherent phase demodulation.

Gilchriest, C.↗

Radio frequency baseband recording technique

Technique uses a helical-scan video recorder with auxiliary signal-conditioning equipment to provide an inexpensive, high-capacity magnetic tape recording of a 112 channel, phase-locked, multiplexed, baseband signal.

Heckman, D. C.↗

Improved quick-disconnect electrical connector

Electrical connector is fitted with an O ring, moisture-proof seal, is shielded in both the mated and unmated positions, and is equipped with one keying and three locking spheres.

Horton, R. F.↗

Block-coded communications

Theory for block-coded telemetry systems is useful in testing performance of one- and two-way, phase-coherent telemetry systems when double-conversion, superheterodyne, phase-locked receiver, preceded by bandpass limiter is used to track carrier.

Lindsey, W. C.↗

Jettisoning system for a parachute's canister

Three-point automatically released suspension and jettisoning system operates independently of lander's power system and releases parachute on touchdown. The system is based on a ball-lock device operated by the shock of the parachute's opening and by the subsequent decay in the load on the main cord.

Lonborg, J. O.↗

Flexible or rigid extending arm

One motion of a manual clamp makes a universally flexible arm instantly rigid in any configuration. Device is locked rigid by meshing of gear teeth, providing great resistance to loading.

Siebert, C. J.↗

Spectral analysis of oscillation instabilities in frequency standards

Phase and frequency fluctuations, inherent in oscillators used as frequency standards, are measured over spectral frequency range of 1 Hz to 5 kHz. Basic measurement system consists of electromechanical phase-locked loop that extracts phase and frequency fluctuations and error multiplier that extends threshold sensitivity.
