Abstract
Two simultaneous (dual) uplink carriers from a single DSN 64-m-diameter antenna site are required to support the Viking 1975 project. A prototype dualcarrier exciter has been built and tested. The dual-carrier exciter amplifies and combines two standard DSN exciter signals, which are used to drive a high-power klystron operating in a linear mode (10% of normal power). The measured intermodulation products produced were at least 20 dB below the carrier's power.
