This is a single
25 Channel Driver Unit. |
|
Its front panel
indicates what quadrant and what standoffs it drives. |
|
The rear panel
shows its input from the Controller Unit, and its output to the TEC devices
on the dish. There is also it’s
cable from 2 (200A ea.) power supplies. |
|
The Driver Unit
houses 25 power amplifiers mounted on a large heatsink plate. This heatsink plate is dual air and
liquid cooled because of the number of amplifiers mounted on it, plus its
operation at altitude. |
