  • Calibration system and method for optimizing leakage performance of a multi-port amplifier
    Patent number: 10447219
    Abstract: A calibration system of architecture, apparatus, algorithms and method for optimizing leakage performance of a multi-port amplifier (MPA) for satellite communications. The calibration system comprises simple onboard apparatus and generally on-ground algorithms implementation connected via telecommand and telemetry links. The isolation performance of the MPA is monitored by using a commandable frequency generator and a flexible narrowband receiver. The high performance is achieved by direct and efficient optimization of the aggregate leakage of the MPA. The calibration system may be applied but not limited to Ku and Ka-band high throughput satellite systems.
