Abstract

To provide more information for the noise-burst study, a comparison of noise bursts with the polarization diversity S-band (PDS) and S-band megawatt transmit (SMT) cones was made. For a period of approximately one month, DSS 14 conducted its regular tracking missions alternately with the PDS and SMT cones. The S-band total power system temperature strip chart recordings were analyzed for noise bursts. The conclusion is that with respect to noise-burst performance, the PDS and SMT cones are similar.
