The invention relates to a modular
satellite electric propulsion device with adjustable
discharge pulse, which belongs to the field of micro-
nano satellite electric propulsion. Combined with the rapid on-off of the controllable switch, the inductive
energy storage and
voltage boost are realized based on the fact that the inductive current cannot be mutated, so that the
anode and
cathode of the thruster are discharged, ionized
plasma, ejected to generate thrust, and the output PWM is adjusted through the
pulse control circuit The
duty cycle and frequency of the rectangular wave adjust the thrust. The device is small in size and simple in supply mechanism; based on the way of inductive
energy storage, it can instantly raise the
low voltage of 3-27V to a
plasma breakdown voltage of hundreds to more than a thousand volts, reducing the
voltage demand for
satellite power
supply and distribution ;Effectively reduces the cost; adopts
modular design, the functions can be freely combined according to the needs, the interface is compatible, combined with power supply devices of different
discharge power and frequency, can form different series of thrusters; the digital adjustable
pulse control circuit adopted is easy to debug , can realize the precise control of the thrust.
