Abstract
The activities of the Development Support Group in operating the Venus Deep Space Station (DSS 13) and the Microwave Test Facility (MTF) for the period October 16 through December 15, 1972, are presented and categorized by facility and section supported. Major activities include an extensive test program of dual uplink carrier generation and measurement of intermodulation products in the downlink band resulting therefrom. A description of the progress of this test program, along with work required to minimize production of intermodulation products, is given. Progress in precision antenna gain measurements, continuing planetary radar experiments, and weak source observations are other activities noted. 1. Precision antenna gain measurement. Radio sources
