[0022] In this embodiment, Figure 2As shown, the drive control module includes a first isolator T1, a linearizer L1, a first amplifier A1, a voltage-controlled attenuator U1, a second amplifier A2, a radio frequency switch K1, and a second isolator T2 connected in sequence; the input end of the first isolator T1 is used to receive a low-power signal, and the output end of the second isolator T2 is used to output a primary power signal. The drive control module also includes a second power coupler G1, the input end of the second power coupler G1 is connected to the output end of the first isolator T1, the first output end of the second power coupler G1 is connected to the second detector D2, the output end of the second detector D2 is connected to the monitoring module, the second output end of the second power coupler G1 is used to connect to an external load, the second power coupler G1 is used to couple out a low-power signal isolated by the first isolator T1, the second detector D2 is used to detect the signal coupled out by the second power coupler G1 and then output a second detection signal, and the monitoring module is used to monitor and protect the second detection signal.
[0023] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, each power amplifier module includes an amplitude and phase adjustment circuit, a traveling wave tube amplifier, a third power coupler and a third detector. The output end of the amplitude and phase adjustment circuit is connected to the signal input end of the traveling wave tube amplifier. The amplitude and phase adjustment circuit is used to adjust the amplitude and phase of the input single-channel equal-amplitude primary power signal, and output the signal after amplitude and phase adjustment; the traveling wave tube amplifier is used to excite and amplify the signal after amplitude and phase adjustment and output a single-channel intermediate power signal; the input end of the third power coupler is connected to the signal output end of the traveling wave tube amplifier, the first output end of the third power coupler is used to output a single-channel intermediate power signal, the second output end of the third power coupler is connected to the third detector, the output end of the third detector is connected to the monitoring module, and the third power coupler is used to couple out a single-channel intermediate power signal; the third detector is used to detect the coupled single-channel intermediate power signal and output a third detection signal, and the monitoring module is used to monitor and protect the third detection signal.
[0024] In this embodiment, each power amplifier module can achieve a continuous wave power output of about 350W. By using a traveling wave tube with a single tube output power of large power, the output power of each power amplifier module is increased, the synthesis network is shortened, the difficulty of amplifier debugging is reduced, and the overall size of the amplifier is reduced.
[0025] A control and protection circuit is also provided inside each power amplifier module. The monitoring mainboard is connected to the control and protection circuit. The control and protection circuit includes a temperature protection circuit and a reflection protection circuit. The input end of the reflection protection circuit is connected to the output end of the third detector, and the output end of the reflection protection circuit and the output end of the temperature protection circuit are both connected to the input end of the monitoring module.
[0026] The control circuit is used to provide reflection protection and temperature protection. The reflection protection couples a single intermediate power signal through the third power coupler, outputs a third detection signal through the third detector, and then compares the DC voltage value of the third detection signal with the preset voltage value through the reflection protection circuit, and compares the reflected power value of the third detection signal with the preset reflected power value. If the DC voltage value or the reflected power value exceeds the preset voltage value or the reflected power value, the reflection protection circuit outputs a reflection control signal to the monitoring module. For example, the final output power of the present invention is 2000W, and the total reflected power of each power amplifier module reaches 160W. At this time, the standing wave of the whole machine is about 1.8, and this time is set as the reflection power protection point. That is, when the reflected power of each power amplifier module is ≥160W, the reflection protection circuit outputs a reflection control signal to the monitoring module. The temperature protection performs temperature detection on the power amplifier module through the temperature protection circuit. When the temperature of the protection point exceeds the preset temperature value, for example, the preset temperature value is 100°C, the temperature protection circuit outputs a temperature control signal to the monitoring module.
[0027] In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the power combiner adopts a Ka-band kilowatt-class continuous wave broadband eight-way power combiner with a waveguide H-plane coupling bridge. The structure of the power divider is symmetrical to the power combiner. The power divider includes a cavity, an input waveguide interface arranged on the front side of the cavity, and eight output waveguide interfaces arranged on the rear side of the cavity. By adopting a power combiner and a power coupler with a waveguide H-plane coupling bridge, the effect of the two-sideband drop of each port under wide-band conditions can be effectively reduced, the transmission bandwidth can be greatly widened, and excellent transmission characteristics can be achieved. The Ka-band kilowatt-class continuous wave broadband eight-way power combiner has been described in the Chinese invention patent with publication number CN118099697A, and the present invention will not repeat it.
[0028] In this embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the monitoring module includes a monitoring mainboard and an interface component. The monitoring mainboard includes a CPU. The CPU is connected to an IO interface circuit, an AD sampling circuit, a network module or a 485 transmission module. The 485 transmission module is connected to each power amplifier module. The AD sampling circuit is used to connect to the output end of the first detector, the output end of the second detector or the output end of the third detector. The IO interface circuit is used to connect to a linearizer, a radio frequency switch or a voltage-controlled attenuator. The network module is used to connect to a remote control device.
[0029] In this embodiment, the power of the voltage-controlled attenuator is set by the monitoring module, and the output power and accuracy of the final-stage power coupling signal coupled by the first power coupler are controlled and adjusted. The specific process is: the monitoring module receives the preset power instruction output by the remote control device, calculates the preset attenuation value according to the preset power instruction, adjusts the voltage of the voltage-controlled attenuator to set the attenuation amount, and then compares the output power of the collected final-stage power coupling signal with the preset power, calculates the actual attenuation value according to the difference between the output power and the preset power, and adjusts the attenuation amount of the voltage-controlled attenuator according to the difference between the actual attenuation value and the preset attenuation value, so that the output power of the collected final-stage power coupling signal approaches the preset power value.
[0030] The monitoring module controls the voltage-controlled attenuator, RF suppression or enabling function through the IO interface circuit; receives the second detection signal through the AD sampling circuit to collect the input level, receives the third detection signal and the final power coupling signal to collect, transform, sample and process the output power and reflected power, collect information in real time and report it for display.
[0031] In this embodiment, the power supply module includes a high-voltage power supply, and the high-voltage power supply is connected to the traveling wave tube amplifier and the monitoring module.
[0032] In this embodiment, Figure 6-9 As shown, in order to improve the heat dissipation capacity and quickly dissipate the heat in the amplifier, the heat dissipation module includes a main heat sink 701 and an auxiliary heat sink 702 which are symmetrically arranged. The main heat sink 701 includes a main cold plate and main heat dissipation ribs. The main cold plate is arranged at the outer end of the main heat dissipation ribs. The auxiliary heat sink 702 includes an auxiliary cold plate and auxiliary heat dissipation ribs. The auxiliary cold plate is arranged at the outer end of the auxiliary heat dissipation ribs. A pressure isolation rib is arranged between the inner end of the main heat dissipation rib and the inner end of the auxiliary heat dissipation rib.
[0033] The main cold plate is provided with a heat pipe group for conducting heat from the inside of the main cold plate to the outside. A plurality of cooling fans 703 are arranged side by side at one of the heat conducting ends of the main cold plate. The heat pipe group includes a main heat pipe group and a secondary heat pipe group with opposite heat conducting directions. Both the main heat pipe group and the secondary heat pipe group include a plurality of heat pipes arranged side by side. In order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency, a cooling fan 703 is also arranged side by side at one end of the secondary cold plate and is located below the cooling fan 703 on the main cold plate.
[0034] In this embodiment, when the saturated output power of a single traveling wave tube amplifier is about 350W, its efficiency is about 32%. Therefore, the power consumption of a single traveling wave tube amplifier is about 1100W, and the heat dissipation is about 750W. Since the heat dissipation problem of the present invention mainly lies in the high heat density, the heat dissipation power of each power amplifier module reaches about 1000W, but the heat dissipation surface area between it and the heat dissipation module is small, so the main cold plate of the main radiator 701 is set below the drive control module 1, the power distributor 2, the eight-way power amplifier module 3, the power synthesizer 4, and the monitoring module 5, and the auxiliary cold plate of the auxiliary radiator 702 is set below the high-voltage power supply 8, and the heat conduction pipe group is used to conduct heat to two directions of the main cold plate to achieve the purpose of rapid uniform heat dissipation of the entire heat dissipation surface.
[0035] In this embodiment, the auxiliary radiator 702 has a large difference in the heat dissipation power carried by the main radiator 701 of the traveling wave tube amplifier and the auxiliary radiator 702 of the high-voltage power supply 8. Therefore, the number of required cooling fans and the wind pressure of the air duct are quite different. In order to ensure the heat dissipation capacity of the main radiator 701 and the auxiliary radiator 702, different heat dissipation forms need to be adopted, including the height and thickness of the heat dissipation fins, the gap of the air duct, the pressure in the air duct, etc. In this embodiment, a thermal simulation analysis is performed on the main radiator 701, and the cooling fans are arranged side by side. The thermal conductivity of the heat pipe of the heat pipe group is set to 10000 (w / m·k). The simulated ambient temperature is 50°C, and forced air cooling is used for heat dissipation. The simulation results are as follows: Fig.11 From the simulation results, when the ambient temperature is 50°C, the main radiator 701 is equipped with a heat pipe group and seven cooling fans 703 for forced heat dissipation, and the maximum temperature rise is 21.3°C, that is, the main radiator has high heat dissipation efficiency and can achieve rapid heat dissipation of the power amplifier.
[0036] In this embodiment, Fig.10 As shown, the power amplifier is set in the box 9, and the size of the box 9 is about: 922mm (length) × 886mm (height) × 460mm (width). In order to ensure the stability and structural strength of each structural unit, a distributed frame is set inside the box 9 to provide support, save space, and improve integration. The frame is fixed and strengthened by steel bars. The air duct of the cooling fan 703 of the heat dissipation module is connected to the outside of the box 9. There are multiple heat dissipation holes 10 on the outer wall of the box 9. Fig.12 As shown, the power divider 2 and the power combiner 4 are both integrated to increase the mechanical performance of the power amplifier and improve the index and reliability of the power amplifier. The waveguide components of the present invention are cut and processed by high-speed CNC machining machines to ensure the accuracy of the power amplifier.
[0037] The present invention realizes the synthesis of eight-way traveling wave tube power within the 4GHz bandwidth of the Ka band, and realizes the low-loss, 2000W continuous wave high power transmission capability by adopting the traveling wave tube amplifier and the eight-way branching and synthesis form. It realizes the synthesis of multi-way power amplification based on vacuum electron tubes, and improves the power capacity of the power amplifier.
[0038] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope defined by the claims.
