  • Patent number: 4190882
    Abstract: A power supply arrangement that substantially eliminates the effects of the sidebands and harmonics at the switching frequency of the power supply on the RF carrier of an amplifier or other unit being supplied power. The switching frequency of the power supply arrangement is continuously varied in frequency at an appropriate rate and deviation with the result that a band of frequencies replaces the fundamental switching frequency of the power supply and all harmonics so that noise created by the switching frequency signal and the RF signal are then similarly diffused. The net power present as spurious noise in the amplifier unit is constant with the maximum amplitude of the noise as viewed, for example, in a doppler filter being substantially reduced. In a radar transmitter, for example, the transmitted pulse frequency appears as PRF sidebands of the CW frequency and the extraneous modulation from the switched power supply provides sidebands of the PRF sidebands.
