Abstract :
The transponder high voltage power supply for the Japanese Broadcast Satellite for Experimental Purpose (BSE) will be described. The power supply provides the appropriate voltages and currents required by a high power multi-stage depressed collector Traveling Wave Tube (TWT) with one hundred watts of RF output. The system requirements will be presented with a description of the selected design approach; the primary high voltage power circuits; high voltage component selection; high voltage packaging concept; grounding and isolation criteria; and performance characteristics including fault protection, efficiency, weight, and prototype test data.
