A compact and lightweight 4-GHz linearizer for satellite TWTA's has been developed by using MIC packages with chip devices. The linearize is composed of a preamplifier, a predistortion Iinearizer, and a limiting ampfifier, consisting of two, three, and three 25x12.5-mm packages, respectively. It improves the noise power ratio for an FM system by 3 dB and the required C/N for a TDMA system by 4.5 dB compared with the conventional satellite TWTA. A space environmental test and an aging test were successfully performed on the equipment.
