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 11):
The antenna system according to  claim 10 , in which one or more limiters of the respective one or more amplifiers are arranged prior to the input stage, or in the amplification stage.
