These amplifier/antenna combinations operate with bandwidths that encompass the entire H F band and simultaneously amplify as many as 20 to 25 independent signals of arbitrary carrier frequency. The advantages of such an H F radio system include more effective utilization of assets, frequency agility, and greater efficiency. Along with the advantages, however, comes an increase in the number of intermodulation (IM) products that are generated when the multiple signals are amplified within the high power multichannel RF amplifier. The system designer must be knowledgeable of the impact of these intermodulation products. He must be able to determine what interference will be caused (if any) and to do this, he must know both the frequency and the level of the intermodulation products. The method for calculating the frequency of intermodulation products is well known. The means for predicting the level of the intermodulation products is less familiar to the system designer, especially when multiple signals of various power levels are involved and when intermodulation products of several orders and types are of concern. This paper introduces a means of providing a cursory prediction of the level of the intermodulation products generated by a high power multi channel RF amplifier and makes an effort to contribute to more effective frequency management techniques.

These high transients may occur in cases of direct lightning strikes on the line, or in cases of EMP due to low altitude burst or ground burst close to the 1 ine. In these cases the classical protection devices are not adequate because in general arresters cannot withstand energies higher than a few tens kJ. The goal of the presentation is to show the limita tions of classical protection devices and to present different solutions to solve this problem. 1. LIMITATIONS OF CLASSICAL PROTECTION DEVICES Experience has shown that an effective way to deal with abnormal lightning or EMP overvoltages on power lines is to divert them to earth by the means of surge arresters. Surge arresters are constitued of sparkgaps in series with silicon carbide blocks which form the basis of a non linear resistor so that currents due to the n o r m a l voltage could be extinguished by series gaps while the overvoltages are limited by the much larger currents they can divert to earth. While gaps are able to divert to earth large amount of charge (in terms of coulombs), surge arresters have a lower limit for charge flowing because of energy deposited in the silicon carbide block. This limit in charge flowing capability is also dependent on the number of discharges and time beetween discharges. To increase this capability is not easy because the designer must deal with many parameters such as : functionnal service voltage, time response of the arrester, maximum current discharge withstanding, maximum voltage drop in the arrester when current is f1owing, mechanical and geometrical characteristics taking into account insulation levels, characteristics of the power network (neutral earthing, etc ...). This means that the order of magnitude of charge withstanding of 240/415 V arresters is in general tens of coulombs or in terms of energy tens (up to a few hundreds) of kJ. It is also necessary to take into account that spark gaps and arresters keep some memory of the previous charges that they have had to withstand.","PeriodicalId":256770,"journal":{"name":"1985 IEEE International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130333282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
