  • Patent number: 4814770
    Abstract: A power supply apparatus for a radar system of the type which has a control box including signal processing means and a source of electrical power, an antenna unit remote from the control box and including an antenna, a transmitter, a receiver and an IF amplifier, and a coupling cable of variable length between the control box and the antenna unit, the coupling cable coupling signals to and from the antenna unit as well as a power supply voltage and a tuning control voltage. The power supply apparatus comprises a switching mode power supply circuit having an input supplied with the power supply voltage and an output for providing a substantially stable output supply voltage for the receiver. A feedback circuit is responsive to the output supply voltage and is coupled to a control input of the switching mode power supply circuit for adjusting the operation of that circuit so as to maintain the output supply voltage substantially stable.
