  • Abstract
    A 20-kW S- and X-Band transmitter was developed for NASA´s Deep Space Network (DSN) 70-m antennas. The transmitter consists of two separate high-power amplifiers and common supporting assemblies. The new design includes innovations in control and monitoring that simplify the overall transmitter implementation and substantially improve its maintainability
