5.5 Telemetry Antenna

The telemetry subsystem is capable of using either the omnidirectional antenna or the high gain communications antenna.

toroidal with maximum radiation essentially normal axis. The antenna beamwidth in the plane containing the spin axis shall be such as to provide for necessary telemetry reception during the complete

mission.

5.6 Calibration and Tolerance

the full range of The calibration

shall be calibrated over All telemetry channels values anticipated during operation of the spacecraft. accuracy stated below is defined as relative to the quantity as presented at the TT&C station. Assuming correction is made by linear interpolation of the 0 and +5 volt calibration channels, the telemetered values between tolerance at initial integrated system test for each parameter is ±2.5 percent of its full scale range. The EOL tolerance for each parameter, including

degradation, shall be 15 percent of its full

allowance for all sources scale range.
