Abstract
A power distribution system (12) is provided in radar apparatus to distribute power from a 270 VDC source (60) through an intermediate power converter (70) and very high frequency (VHF) regulator/modulator units (80). Bus conductors (71,74) interconnect the source, the intermediate power converter, and the VHF units. Capacitors (71, 76) are connected to the bus conductors on the input and output sides of the intermediate power converter. Each VHF unit supplies modulating pulses to RF amplifiers (82) of an AESA array of the radar apparatus.
