Design, Definition, and Manufacture Participation for the SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) Electronic Power Converter (EPC) Breadboard

摘要

A principle of fine regulation applied to the high voltage line supplying a pulsed load (radar tube) is presented. The high voltage power supply system is a combination of a single series resonant converter and a capacitor multiplier in the output stages. The electronic power conversion system uses a Schwarz converter employing a series resonant circuit for the transfer and control of power. An internal frequency of 35 kHz enhances the power density of the converter model. This model provides 16 kV for the helix-cathode circuit of a klystron with an accuracy of 0.5 per mill and 11 kV for the collector-cathode circuit with an accuracy of 5%. Experiments suggest that the improved power supply should alleviate problems associated with high voltage transformers and ensure the high accuracy required for the voltage control for the helix-cathode circuit to avoid distortion in the returning signal of a spaceborne radar system.
