NASA/JPL deep space network 64 meter diameter antenna dual frequency feed systemTo support the Mariner 1973 X-band experiment, it was necessary to implement a dual-frequency microwave feed system for the Cassegrainian-fed DSS 14 64-m antenna. This system must be capable of simultaneous low noise reception at S- and X-bands and high power transmission at S-band. The design and measured perfromance of the DSS 14 reflex feed system is described.
