The size and complexity of the Saturn vehicle influences telemetry antenna design in several respects. This paper describes the problems associated with size and shape of the vehicle body, bandwidth and power requirements, spurious frequency generation, and exhaust flame effects. Signal strength measurements recorded during the first Saturn flight are presented and compared with precalculated values.
