Abstract
During the month of July 1971 a 100-kW X-band transmitter was installed on the Venus Deep Space Station’s 9-m antenna. This transmitter replaces the experimental 25-kW transmitter formerly used at this station to transmit timing signals via the Moon to five other tracking stations in the Deep Space Network, Primary results of this change are an improved signal-to-noise ratio, higher reliability, and a change from the experimental frequency of 8.450 GHz to the operational frequency of 7.1495 GHz.
