Preprint SURVIVABILITY CONSIDERATIONS IN THE DESIGN OF SPACE POWER SYSTEMS

نویسنده

  • Gary L. Bennett
چکیده

Mission requirements for planned NASA and DOD spacecraft often include designing for survivability. The threats to the survivability of a spacecraft can be either manmade (e.g., ASATs, space debris) or natural (e.g., radiation belts, micrometeoroids). An overview of the principal kinds of manmade threats and the implications on the design of space power systems are discussed. In general, it is concluded that for survivability space power systems should be compact with htgh thermodynamic conversion efficiencies and appropriate intrinsic hardness.

Effective Design of a 3×4 Two Dimensional Distributed Amplifier Based on Gate Line Considerations

In this paper two dimensional wave propagation is used for power combining in drain nodes of a distributed amplifier (DA). The proposed two dimensional DA uses an electrical funnel to add the currents of drain nodes. The proposed structure is modified due to gate lines considerations. Total gain improvement is achieved by engineering the characteristic impedance of gate lines and also make appr...

3-D RF Coil Design Considerations for MRI

High-frequency coils are widely used in medical applications, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems. A typical medical MRI includes a local radio frequency transmit/receive coil. This coil is designed for maximum energy transfer or wave transfer through magnetic resonance. Mutual inductance is a dynamic parameter that determines the energy quantity to be transferred wirelessly by ele...
