Abstract

The Phase Calibration Generator (PCG) system first installed in the Deep Space Network (DSN) in 1987 has recently undergone major modifications that improve comb-tone phase stability and system reliability. Obsolete PCG controllers have also been replaced and upgraded with an improved user interface. The PCG system redesign, test results, and a new capability to generate tones at 32 GHz (Ka-band) are described.
