During the US Department of Energy (DOE)/NASA study of Satellite Power Systems(SPS) an assessment of the magnetron as the microwave generator was made. This paper reviews important findings and updates those findings with more recent technology. The magnetron, when combined with a passive device to make it into an amplifier and then fitted with a phase locked control loop to provide high gain while preserving phase lock between input and output, meets the many severe requirements imposed upon the microwave generator by theSPS transmitter. These include high efficiency, passive dissipation of waste heat, low noise, long life, low cost, low specific mass, and ability to interface with solar photovoltaic array with minimal power conditioning.
The SPS transmitter designed around the magnetron directional amplifier
