Instruments and Systems: Monitoring, Control, and Diagnostics Annotation << Back The construction of the power supply system for modern and advanced multi-element AFAR N.S. SUSHKOVA This article presents a method for constructing the power supply system of the active phased array antenna, which minimizes the ripple voltage, allows you to get a small relative value “drawdown” of voltage when the microwave power amplifiers in pulsed mode, and allows you to reduce the voltage drop across the low-voltage transmission lines of the secondary power supply for power output of microwave amplifiers. In addition, the paper shows how some of the characteristics of the power supply affect the range of the radar AFAR. Keywords: the power supply system of the active phased array antenna, the power of the supply system, the noise factor of the power supply, the range of the radar.
