This paper presents development results of a generic pick-up horn (GPUH) for high power thermal vacuum (TVAC) test of satellite communications payloads. The GPUH is an improved method than the PUH that was presented earlier. It has much wider bandwidth of more than three octaves covering X-band, Ku-band, and Ka-band, can handle more power than the PUH, has better return loss, and is insensitive to...
This paper presents the development of a novel method for high-power thermal vacuum (TVAC) testing of satellite payloads using pickup horns (PUH). It describes the design, manufacture, and qualification results for a Ku-band pickup horn, followed by high-power thermal vacuum test results of a Ku-band satellite for fixed satellite service. Based on the successful demonstration of this method, a generic...
This paper presents a novel method for high power thermal vacuum tests of spacecraft payloads using pick-up horns (PUH). The PUH method has benefits of being cost-effective, compact, easy to implement, does not require breaking the vacuum several times and avoids physical contact with flight hardware. It is designed with four oversized slots to receive the high RF power from the flight horns, absorb...
