Abstract:

These supplemental tests are concerned primarily with mutual interferences from the use of the ANMLQ-8XL-2 in close proximity to another ANMLQ-8XL-2 or to other friendly electronic equipment. Two ANMLQ-8XL-2 jammers employed for mutual protection interfere slightly with one another when sited 1,000 yards apart, but at tactical ranges of 2,000 yards or more no disability is indicated. The jammer must be separated from division-area grid communications by a distance of 1 mile to prevent disruption of teletype circuits. When the Radio Terminal Set ANTRC-24 of a grid system is sited from 2 to 15 miles from the ANMLQ-8XL-2, it shares power in proportion to which lobe of the ANMLQ-8XL-2 antenna is affected by the interfering transmission. This power sharing prevents predetonating of VT fuzes, or effective ANMLQ-8XL-2 operation. If the ANMLQ-8XL-2 is kept 14 miles away from Radio Set Aircraft Radio Corporation ARC Type 12 used for voice communications, the interference, although perceptible, does not prevent communication.
