The error performance of BPSK and QPSK signals with diversity reception in mobile-satellite channel is investigated considering nonlinearity of TWT (Traveling Wave Tube) amplifier in the presence of AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) on the uplink and downlink paths. It is assumed that the fading on the dounlink path forms a Rician distribution. The Rician distribution is approximated by discrete probability values. The values are firstly found by Classical Moment Technique.

A high frequency and energy density pulse transformer is a critical component of a high voltage power supply in a traveling wave tube (TWT) amplifier system. In this paper, processes of design, manufacturing, and test of the transformer are discussed. Primary voltage of the transformer is 240 V. The transformer secondary have two outputs which are 4100 V (Helix) and 2050 V (Collector). Total output power is 860 W. Normal operating frequency of the transformer is 10 kHz. In high energy density pulse transformers, temperature rise is a main problem during its operation. From our study, it was found that resonant current due to leakage inductance and stray capacitance was the main cause of temperature rise. This happens because of the inherently high turn-ratio in high voltage transformers. Solutions to reduce stray components are presented.

A digital self-sustained phase shift modulation (DSSPSM) strategy that allows for good soft switching and dynamic response performance in the presence of step variations is presented in this paper. The working principle, soft switching characteristics, and voltage gain formulae of a LLC converter with DSSPSM have been provided separately. Furthermore, the method for realizing DSSPSM is proposed. Specifically, some key components of the proposed DSSPSM are carefully investigated, including a parameter variation analysis, the start-up process, and the zero-crossing capture of the resonant current. The simulation and experiment results verify the feasibility of the proposed control method. It is observed that the zero voltage switching of the switches and the zero current switching of the rectifier diodes can be easily realized in presence of step load variations.

In this paper, we present new structure of wideband parabolic gain equalizer for TWT applied to printed circuit board. The gain equalizer is manufactured by using design variables of transmission line obtained from derived formulae. We compared the test results of two equalizers(reference equalizer and our equalizer). From that, we confirmed the validity of presented method. The presented equalizer is 1/3 times lighter, 1/2.7 times smaller and 1/10 times chipper than those of reference equalizer(Inmet company), respectively.

Numerical simulations of the Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) about a large-scale flexible pipe subject to shear flow were carried out in this paper. Efficiency verification was performed firstly, validating that the proposed fluid-structure interaction solution strategy is competent in predicting the VIV response. Then, the VIV characteristics related to multi-mode and spanwise hybrid waveform about the flexible pipe attributed to shear flow were investigated. When inflow velocity rises, higher vibration modes are apt to be excited, and the spanwise waveform easily convertes from a standing-wave-dominated status to a hybrid standing-traveling wave status. The multi-mode or even multiple-dominant-mode is prone to occur, that is, the dominant mode is often followed by several apparent subordinate modes with considerable vibration energy. Hence, the shedding frequencies no longer obey Strouhal law, and vibration trajectories become intricate. According to the motion analysis concerning the coupled cross-flow and in-line vibrations, as well as the corresponding wake patterns, a tight coupling interaction exists between the structural deformation and the wake flow behind the flexible pipe. In addition, the evolution of the vortex tube along the pipe span and a strong 3D effect are observed due to the slenderness of the flexible pipe and the variability of the vortex shedding attributed to the shear flow.

In this paper, The SSPA(Solid State Power Amplifier) is 100 watts amplifier which is used with C-Band Satellite communication Up-Link frequency, 5.875 ∼6.425 GHz. SSPA requires more output power than is available from a single GaAs FET with result it is necessary to combine the output of many device. To achieve a high power, it is important to make a good N-way power divider which has a small different phase, good combining efficiency and high power handling capability. The reliability of Power GaAs FET decrease with increasing junction temperature, power amplifier in general dissipate amount of power. It is important to provide them with a heatsink and a temperature compensation circuit to dispose of the unwanted heat. To compensate temperature, Using PIN diode attenuator, it is enable to get a precision gain control. The output power of the SSPA is more than 100 watt with which the TWTA (Traveling-Wave Tube Amplifier) can be replaced. Each stage was measured by the Network analyzer PH8510C, Power meter Booton 42BD, The gain is more than 53 dB, flatness is less than 1.5 dB.

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) signals sutler serious nonlinear distortion in the nonlinear HPA(High Power Amplifier) because of high PAPR(Peak Average Power Ratio). Nonlinear distortion can be improved by a pre-distorter, but this pre-distorter is insufficient when the PAPR is very high in an OPFDM system. In this paper, a DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) transform technique is introduced for PAPR reduction. It is especially important to consider the memory effect of HPA for more precise predistortion. Therefore, in this paper, we consider two models, the TWTA(Traveling-Wave Tube Amplifier) model of Saleh without a memory effect and the HPA memory polynomial model that has a memory effect. We design a pre-distorter and an adaptive pre-distorter that uses the NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Square) algorithm for the compensation of this nonlinear distortion. Without the consideration of a memory effect, the system performance would be degraded, even if the pre-distorter is used for the compensation of the nonlinear distortion. From the simulation results, we can confirm that the proposed system shows an improvement in performance.

This paper analyzes the impact of the satellite TWTA non-linearity charateristics for shared band transmission technology to improve spectral efficiency in satellite communication system. In shared band transmission technology for star network, a hub and terminals use same frequency band. In order to receive terminals's signal a hub have to remove the its own DVB-S2 carrier. In this paper the non-linearity impact of satellite TWTA is analyzed for self-interference cancellation.
