Satellite Power Measurement Using Power Sensors
应用文章
Equipment for use in space applications need to go through stringent environmental tests in order to proof that it can survive extreme conditions during launch or in space. One of the most complex and expensive tests is the thermal vacuum (TVAC) test. Satellite manufacturers require a RF power measurement solution that can:
- Improve power measurement accuracy – greater confidence in power measurement results
- Simplify the measurement setup and calibration procedure – minimize human errors and complete the TVAC test faster
- Cover a wide range of satellite signals – ease of maintenance and calibration with a single family of power sensors
- Survive the vacuum environment without outgassing – the sensor will not contaminate the chamber or limit the chamber from going lower in pressure
