Research, design, development, and fabrication of a two-stage, solid-state, microcircuit power amplifier operating in the 2.25 GHz region of the S-band are summarized. Output is typically 7.0 watts for an input of approximately 400 mw. Input stage is an MSC 3001 transistor; output stage is an MSC 3005 transistor. Input VSWR is 1.4:1.0, or less. Efficiency of 33.3 percent or more is achieved. Second and third harmonic suppression is 30 db. Operating power is 28 VDC. The entire unit has a length of 3.80 inches, a width of 2.08 inches, and a height of 1.00 inch.
Broad-band CW amplification with Gunn diodes in waveguide circuits has been obtained, with power gains typically between 10 and 15 dB and half-power bandwidths of more than 1 GHz. It is found that amplifier performance can be modeled with fair accuracy using a rough characterization for the diode parameters.
Transformer-coupled output stage is used with pulse-width modulated class-D dc amplifiers. Circuit is comprised of two channels corresponding to negative and positive input signals. Amplitude of secondary-current triangular pulse is function of duration of driving pulse. Therefore, circuit converts pulse-width modulated driving signal to pulse-amplitude modulated signal.
A design has been made of a 100 watt traveling-wave tube amplifier for use in space communication applications. The features of very high overall efficiency and heat rejection of waste heat at low thermal densities were predominant in the design concept. The design concept was proven by building a series of tubes, operating at efficiencies up to 50%. These tubes utilized heat pipe cooling and heat distribution such that 150 watts of waste heat was rejected at a density of less than 1.5 watts per square inch. A power supply to convert a 28 volt primary line of the needs of the TWT was built and operated at 85% efficiency.
