Wireless Internal Ship Communications System Test Results Aboard U. S. Navy Destroyer Escort DE-1094 (USS PHARRIS).

摘要

A wireless communications system independent of ship's power and using portable hand-held transceivers has been installed aboard the USS PHARRIS, DE1094. This system utilizes a slotted coaxial cable as the primary transmission medium. Radio frequency energy from the portable transceivers couples into the cable through the slots. In the same manner, radio frequency energy within the cable leaks out and is received by the portable transceivers in areas traversed by the cable. Thus, the cable serves as a passive, reciprocal RF energy transmission medium covering any number of ships compartments.
