An shf high-density r-f heterodyne repeater microwave system

This paper describes a microwave communication system of unusual design. Operation is in the 6-gc (gigacycles) frequency range, and the design is to provide for transmission of high-density messages (1,800 voice circuits) or video information. The equipment design is described in terms of the “Terminal Transmitter,” “Through Repeater,” and “Terminal Receiver.” Emphasis is placed on the unique features which distinguish the equipment from the conventional system design. Performance objectives are given.
