First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . Amplifier device with at least one microwave tube, configured to be mounted on a satellite, including a high voltage section directly connected to said microwave tube or tubes, a low voltage section, and a low voltage cabling assembly provided with low voltage connectors at the ends thereof connecting said low and high voltage sections, said high voltage section being arranged on the same base plate as the microwave tube or tubes. 2 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein said low voltage cabling assembly includes at least one low voltage electrical power supply cable and a control and telemetry signal bus. 3 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein said low voltage section includes a low voltage pre-regulator module, and a control and telemetry signal management module. 4 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein said high voltage section includes a high voltage generator module and a control and telemetry signal processing module. 5 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein said high voltage generator module of said high voltage section includes: a low voltage to high voltage converter module; and a high voltage rectifier and filter module. 6 . The device according to claim 5 , wherein said high voltage section includes a control module for activating/deactivating the microwave tube or tubes. 7 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein said low voltage is less than 200 V. 8 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein said high voltage is more than 200 V. 9 .
