| Abstract: | This paper presents a novel adaptive thermal management technique to improve the efficiency of solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) for geo-synchronous satellites. The thermal management for space segment is very important as it determines the reliability of the satellite. The microwave power amplifiers (MPAs), either traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs) or SSPAs, are the maximum power consuming and heat dissipative elements in the satellite and their power efficiency determines weight, volume, cost, and reliability of the satellite. So, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of the SSPA. A novel technique is presented, which improves the efficiency of the SSPA and hence, saving of costly DC power generation on-board and reduction of the heat dissipation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
