  • Power enhancement techniques for high power satellites
    Patent number: 5862462
    Abstract: A satellite is formed with a signal translation and amplification system which includes at least one communication path. Each communication path includes a plurality of radiation-cooled TWTs powered by a single EPC. Also included in the communication path is a high efficiency radiation panel capable of transmitting heat generated by said TWTs and EPC into space; as well as a radiating collector which is directly applied to each TWT, and is capable of transmitting heat generated by said TWT into space.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 12, 1996
    Date of Patent: January 19, 1999
    Assignee: Space Systems/Loral, Inc.
    Inventors: Randall D. Tyner, Donald C. Briggs, Daniel E. Collins, William R. Avellino
