Solid-state alternatives for the Solar Power SatelliteA solid-state transmitter at S-band frequencies will allow many low-power antenna array elements fed directly by the solid-state amplifier modules to combine power for transmission to earth in space. Two configurations, one the separate antenna and the other a sandwich concept are discussed. The results of two small hardware development studies are presented.
