Power/Efficiency flexibility of spaceborne SSPA using Doherty scheme associated to a<br />

Title:<br />

linearizer<br />

The Doherty configuration is an advanced design concept of SSPA which can provide instantaneous flat efficiency for a wide<br />

range of input / power range. Very interesting results have been obtained for the base station market where extreme<br />

requirements for linearity/power and efficiency are rewarded. This activity is aiming at demonstrating the applicability of this<br />

concept to spaceborne applications by using the most advanced semicon<strong>du</strong>ctor technologies allowing to focus on very high<br />

constant efficiency. The linearity performance in a range of 3 to 6dB of output power flexibility will represent a key point, and<br />

linearization schemes will be addressed to assure sufficient performance.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

RF amplifiers demonstrators. Standard design <strong>document</strong>ation. Test reports. Associated linearization scheme. Standard design<br />

<strong>document</strong>ation. Test reports.<br />

Title:<br />

Solid State Isolators based on GaN technology<br />

This activity shall first concentrate on identifying ways to develop RF/microwave high power isolators based on solid state<br />

semicon<strong>du</strong>ctor GaN technology. In a second part, the demonstration of feasibility of isolators for space borne applications will<br />

be provided by designing and testing high power isolators aiming at shrinking both size/volume and mass of current ferrite<br />

based isolators used in SSPA equipments.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

Isolator breadboard. Design <strong>document</strong>ation. Test reports.<br />
