Abstract
A 2.5 KW Solid State L-Band Amplifier has been designed to achieve 2 orders of magnitude improvement in reliability. This improvement is achieved by the use of stand-by modules controlled by performance monitoring/fault locating networks which are incorporated in RF and DC circuitry. A failed module is automatically switched out of the RF circuit and replaced with a stand-by unit. This self-healing technique maintains amplifier Performance with minimum interruption time.
