title = "A novel technique for suppressing heat in onboard High-Power amplifiers",
abstract = "Satellite communication systems have entered the mobile multimedia communication era. To support small earth terminals, the satellites must have high levels of effective isotropic radiated power. Onboard high-power amplifier not only need to generate high RF output power, but also to generate as little heat as possible. To address this issue, we present a new technique that reduces the amount of heat generated in high power amplifiers on a satellite. The technique makes use of heat suppression signals so as to maintain the amplifier's power efficiency. The potential impact on satellite systems is presented. To minimize the interference of the heat suppression signals on the carrier, some techniques are proposed using a multi-port amplifier and an antenna array and a reflector.",
