A limited series of tests were conducted to verify the electrical characteristics of the AGA CT Mod II C-band beacon serial number 48. It is contemplated to use this beacon with the Transit vehicle for Range Safety and metric data gathering. The AGA CT Mod II beacon is a miniaturized C-band unit consisting of a single pack-AGE. The beacon is completely transistorized with the exception of the local oscillator and magnetron tubes, operates from an input voltage of 24.5 to 31 vdc, employes a superheterodyne receiver, has provisions for interrogation by either a single pulse or a two pulse code, and transmits medium r-f power.
