Abstract :
For satisfying both requirements of high efficiency and beam control for a space solar power system (SSPS), we propose a phased array with a phase and amplitude controlled magnetron (PACM). The PACM is developed with an injection locking technique and PLL feedback to an anode current for frequency/phase control and to an external coil current in order to control the magnetic field for amplitude control. With the PACM we design the SSPS.
