Coded aperture collimators in conjunction with position-sensitive detectors are very useful in the study of transient phenomena because they combine a broad field of view, high sensitivity, and an ability for precise source locations. Since the preceding conference, a series of computer simulations of various detector designs have been carried out with the aid of a CDC6400. Particular emphasis was placed on the development of a unit consisting of a one-dimensional random or periodic collimator in conjunction with a two-dimensional position-sensitive xenon proportional counter. A configuration involving four of these units has been incorporated into the preliminary design study of the Transient Explorer satellite and are applicable to any SAS or HEAO type satellite mission. Results of this study, including detector response, field of view, and source location precision, are presented.
