Abstract:
There is provided an electronic amplification apparatus ( 40 ) comprising a travelling wave tube amplifier ( 20 ) and a limiter ( 10 ), wherein the configuration of the amplifier ( 20 ) is optimised whilst maintaining signal linearity for operation with improved DC power efficiency at an operating point below saturation, and the limiter ( 10 ) is arranged to prevent the output power of the amplifier from going beyond a predetermined limit. This can prevent possible damage. There is also provided a multiport amplifier system ( 50 ) containing the electronic amplification apparatus ( 40 ), and a multi-feed, multi-amplifier phased array type antenna system ( 130 ) containing the electronic amplification apparatus ( 40 ), and a satellite communications system comprising the electronic amplification apparatus ( 40 ) or the multiport amplifier system ( 50 ) or the multi-feed, multi-amplifier phased array type antenna system ( 130 ).

Claim (Index 13):
The system according to  claim 10 , further comprising one or more multiport amplifier (MPA) systems, each of the one or more MPA systems comprising:\n an input stage for receiving a plurality of signal inputs; an output stage for providing a plurality of signal outputs; an amplification stage for amplifying the plurality of signals received at the input stage and providing the plurality of amplified signals to the output stage; and one or more electronic amplification apparatuses, each of the one or more electronic amplification apparatuses comprising:\n a travelling wave tube amplifier (TWTA); and \n a limiter; \n wherein the configuration of the TWTA is optimised for operation at an operating point below saturation, and the limiter is arranged to prevent the output power of the amplifier from going beyond a predetermined limit; and \n wherein the amplification stage contains one or more amplifiers of the respective one or more electronic apparatuses.
