Abstract: A digital compensation method includes measuring the temperature of the equipment item and applying an analogue control voltage intended to maintain the electrical quantity of the equipment item at a predetermined setpoint value. At each measurement instant, the method includes interrogating look-up tables respectively associated with different setpoint values, then, when the measured temperature is situated between two digital temperature states stored in the look-up tables, creating intermediate digital temperature states situated between the two stored digital temperature states, computing, by interpolation, digital control words corresponding to the intermediate digital temperature states created, and selecting a digital control word, stored or intermediate, corresponding to the measured temperature, then delivering, to at least one of the N individual devices, the analogue control corresponding to the selected digital control word.

Abstract: A radio frequency channel amplification module for communication satellite, comprises an input configured to convey an input radio frequency signal, an output configured to restore a pre-amplified output radio frequency signal intended to power a travelling wave tube amplifier that can be equipped with linearization means with predistortion, at least one first upstream gain control module arranged downstream of the input and one second downstream gain control module arranged downstream of the first upstream gain control module and upstream of any linearization means by predistortion. The channel amplification module also comprises an instantaneous power limiter intended to clip the peaks of the input radio frequency signals with a level exceeding a determined threshold value, the instantaneous power limiter being arranged in series between said first upstream gain control module and said second downstream gain control module.

Abstract: A linearizer-channel amplifier device for a dual RF channel designed to be installed on a telecommunication satellite comprises two independent radiofrequency channels, each radiofrequency channel corresponding to a radiofrequency-signal communication channel and comprising a channel-amplifier module, the two radiofrequency channels being connected to one and the same remote control and telemetry module designed to route and to manage remote control signals dedicated to each of the two channel-amplifier modules and to manage telemetries produced by the two channel-amplifier modules. For application notably to the field of satellite telecommunications and in particular to the radiofrequency transmission systems of satellite repeaters.
