Objectives
The objective of this program is to design and qualify some particular power dividers designs in the Ku and K band.
Challenges
Main challenges in this program:
- Power Dividers for 17GHz-22GHz band
- State-of-the-art technical performance
- Size and mass reduction
All these points, understanding the hardware as a product targeting a variety of customers and payload needs while in a future scheme of recurrence.
Plan
There will be different designs to be qualified. Some of them validated at EM level.
The planning is as follows:
- PDR:13/11/2012 – Concluded
- CDR:17/12/2012 – Concluded on EQMs. Pending on delta CDR for EMs
- TRR: 12/02/2013 – Concluded on EQMs.
- Delta CDR: 05/13/2013 – Concluded
- Delta TRR: 09/04/2013 – Concluded
- FR: 22/05/2013 – Concluded
Current Status
Project has been completed.
- 4 EQMs have been qualified (1:2 Ku, 1:2K, 2:2Ku & 2:2K)
- 9 EMs have been designed, manufactured and measured in temperature (1:2, 2:2, 1:3Ku and 1:3 Ka, 2:4Ku & 2:6Ku)
