A high level noise blanker RF amplifier system for the UHF band

The design and construction of a high level noise blanker and RF amplifier system as used in RFI measurement work is presented. This RFI work is part of the Shipboard RFI in UHF SATCOM project sponsored by Naval Electronic Systems Command. The system requirements are discussed providing a basis for deriving the system specifications. The design of the solid state blanker is presented in detail, along with tests performed on the completed system. Electromagnetic compatibility of the unit with the working environment is considered in the design and in the special construction techniques employedPrepared for: Naval Electronic Systems Command, PME 106, Washington, D.C. 20302.http://archive.org/details/highlevelnoisebl76106maceA task under the Shipboard RFI in UHF SATCOM Project.N
