AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The advantage of this circuit is that it is simple in principle and easy to implement, but its single function can only meet the basic requirements of power amplifiers in simple environments. For relatively complex application environments such as radar, communication, electronic countermeasures, navigation and aerospace, this circuit The function of the function can no longer meet its usage requirements

[0005] The existing power amplifier control circuit has a simple principle and a single function, and its disadvantages mainly include the following points:

[0006] 1. The circuit does not have an internal amplitude stabilization function, so the flatness of the output power of the amplifier cannot be improved through the circuit. The flatness of the output power of the entire amplifier depends entirely on the performance of the power amplifier chip. Therefore, for environments with high requirements for flatness of output power , the circuit no longer applies

[0007] 2. The circuit does not have a program control function and only supports manual adjustment of the amplifier, which not only increases the cost of use, but also cannot meet the increasingly high requirements for equipment automation

[0008] 3. The circuit does not have an abnormal state monitoring function. Once the power amplifier fails, it cannot notify the user through an alarm signal, let alone perform automatic processing, and it is difficult to guarantee the stability and reliability of the system operation.
