Abstract

In support of a future ocean broadband projects, a Ka-band mobile satellite communications platform is proposed. To establish a high speed communications link, a high reliability and high power light weight RF amplifier is a key component of the subsystem. The Ka-band High Reliability Light Weight Multi Mission Amplifier system now under development is presented with the technical design and results of ongoing hardware testing. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the high reliability of a combined solid state multi-mission power amplifier consisting of many MMIC amplifiers.
