ABSTRACT:
A software-controlled select and test system for use with a spacecraft. The system reduces the assembly, integration, test time and improves performance of the payload and spacecraft by optimizing the performance using standardized algorithms. The system also reduces the DC power required by the spacecraft, and the thermal dissipation, battery size, solar array size and mass of the spacecraft. This is achieved by optimizing traveling wave tube amplifiers for each channel instead of meeting minimum power requirement over the entire range, wherein most channels have excess power. A serial interface adapter performs the optimization functions via software.
