Abstract

The development of an X-band exciter, for use in the X-Band Uplink Subsystem, has been completed. The exciter generates the drive signal for the X-band transmitter and also generates coherent test signals for the S- and X-band Block IT translator and a doppler reference signal for the doppler extractor system. In addition to the above, the exciter generates other reference signals that are described in this article. Also presented is an overview of the exciter design and some test data taken on the prototype. A brief discussion of the Block III doppler extractor is presented.
