Abstract :
Matrix amplifier architectures are capable of providing channel-to-beam allocation flexibility for the next generation of multibeam satellite applications. The author considers the implementation aspects of such amplifiers. Network configurations which make the architecture possible are presented as well as measured results. Solid-state power amplifier characteristics for satisfactory operation of matrix amplifiers are considered and measured results on a unit are presented
